Beyond Dutch: Multilingualism in the Neerlandophone World, 15 June 2023
Our ALCS Postgraduate Symposium 2023 offered interdisciplinary talks that took attendees “Beyond Dutch” by exploring instances and impacts of multilingualism in the Neerlandophone world. Researchers at varied stages in their careers met around a round table in London’s Institute of Languages, Cultures, and Societies to discuss topics in music, literature, history, translation, and media, with examples spanning several centuries of cultural production. Each talk was followed by lively discussion from the group, with many links drawn between each of the talks throughout the day. The whole was certainly greater than the sum its parts.

The keynote was delivered by Dr. Arnoud Arps to an enraptured audience, entitled “The past is not a fleeting moment: Border crossing memories of the Dutch East Indies in Dutch and Indonesian popular culture”. Finally, our spirited conversations continued well into the evening at a merry colloquium supper to mark the occasion with new friends and colleagues.

ALCS Summer School 2023: Steden van de toekomst
Voor onze Association for Low Countries Studies zomercursus gaan we opnieuw naar Schotland, naar de University of Edinburgh. We bieden je:
Nederlandse taalsessies in kleine groepen
lezingen en culturele workshops
een recreatief programma
Het thema van de zomercursus is 'Steden van de toekomst'. Dat is een breed thema dat we op verschillende manieren gaan onderzoeken in relatie met Schotland en de Lage Landen.
De week in Edinburgh begint op zondagmiddag 25 juni en op zaterdag 1 juli vertrekken we weer. Voordat we elkaar zien is er een digitaal voortraject. Daar hoor je later meer over.
Hier vind je de Summer Course Website voor meer informatie.
