Conference 'Maritime solidarity: Past and present' (Amsterdam, 22-23 September 2023) - Call for contributions
|
|
On 22 and 23 September 2023, the two-day conference 'Maritime solidarity: Past and present' will be held in Amsterdam.

Papers can cover any period between roughly 1500 and the present, any group of people challenging authority from below, and all the world’s river systems, seas, and oceans. Academic participants should send in proposals for papers by 1 December. As the organisers also wish to make space for an active dialogue between people studying maritime solidarity in the past and practitioners of maritime solidarity in the present (including, for example, migrant rescue workers, maritime trade unionists, stop the boat campaigners, and more), non-academics who would be interested in joining the conference on the basis of their involvement in present-day maritime solidarity are also invited to join and to write a short e-mail to the conference organizers explaining the nature of their work.
