13th Annual Limina Conference

Home: Belonging and Displacement
The University of Western Australia
26-27th July 2018
deadline for submissions: 30th March 2018

Home is a dynamic concept which imbues space with social and symbolic meaning. Home may encompass different scales of place, from a room in a house to a nation, and it may either express or constitute our identities.

Current social, political, and environmental events stress the changing nature of home. These events throw into relief the opposing feelings of belonging and displacement which the idea of home may evoke.

The 13th annual Limina conference seeks to explore the complexities of home, as both a place and a spatial imaginary.

The organisers accept submissions from all researchers, and particularly encourage post-graduate and early career researchers to submit. There will be the opportunity for presenters to have their papers published in a special edition of Limina (the journal is double blind peer-reviewed).
