📣 Call for Papers and Registration 📣
This BILNAS-sponsored symposium aims to provide a forum for scholars, archivists, community and cultural organizations interested in critical approaches to digital archives containing materials from and about the SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) region.
In this space, archives have been historically imposed, looted, extracted, dispersed, destroyed, but also rescued, rebuilt and reinvented, pioneering practices of resistance, reparation and return that raise compelling ethical, theoretical and practical questions for scholars and stakeholders (Carbajal and Caswell, 2021; Ghaddar, 2025).
We are interested in digitisation as a transformative process that reshapes archival practices, knowledge production, and power relations.
For full details please follow this link to the Institute of Classical Studies website.
The full version of the Call for Papers can be found here.
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 30 September 2026.
The event takes place in London on 21-22 January, 2027.
