RHOME 2026: Sanctuaries and Displacements – Negotiating Home, Refuge and Belonging
The RHOME research project (Representations of Home in Literatures and Cultures in English) is pleased to announce the international conference RHOME 2026, which will take place at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, on 25–26 June 2026. Under the theme Sanctuaries and Displacements: Negotiating Home, Refuge and Belonging, the conference invites scholars, writers and artists to examine how conceptions of home intersect with displacement, sanctuary and belonging across contemporary English-language literatures and cultures. Building on RHOME’s decade-long investigation into home and identity, this edition seeks to foster critical and creative dialogues on the ways in which home is imagined, remembered and contested across diverse contexts.
Extended deadline for Abstract submission until 15 January 2025. For further details, please see the Call for Papers here.
