CfP: Scattered, Tracked, Connected: New Approaches to Dispersed Heritage

The National Museum of Lithuania invites proposals for the international conference Scattered, Tracked, Connected: New Approaches to Dispersed Heritage, to be held in Vilnius, 29–30 April 2026.

How do we work with heritage that is no longer whole, no longer here – or perhaps never truly was? The conference seeks to explore the fragmented, displaced, or deliberately dispersed nature of cultural heritage, and how museums and memory institutions reassemble meaning through research, digital tools, and collaboration.

The British General Strike of 1926: New Directions of Research

To commemorate the centenary of the British General Strike and miners lock-out, Newcastle University’s Labour & Society Research Group (LSRG) are organising a conference that revisits the historical experience of 1926 through the lens of new scholarship that is concerned with the global, spatial and maritime turns in labour history.

Agents of change: Folk cultures in the long 20th century

Folk art and cultures have often been seen as passive, unchanging, and frozen in a preindustrial era, linked with ideas such as nostalgia, decoration, and kitsch. From this point of view, grounded in late 19th and early 20th-century nationalist and modernist discourses, folk art seems to be a relic of the past that cannot respond to the challenges of modern societies, let alone contribute to social change.
