Hidden histories, marginalised voices and the imperative to acknowledge legacies of exclusion are dominating research agendas across the disciplines. This growing awareness of how cultural perceptions, historical practices and the ‘archive’ itself steer the way we think, talk and conduct research is leading to new practices and collaborations. With this comes a more engaged awareness that champions thinking in and with the world.

The 15th ALCS conference would like to explore the theme of questioning the UN/KNOWN in the broadest sense in a Low Countries and comparative context. We take a particular interest in interdisciplinary approaches and papers that explore collaborations between Dutch Studies scholars, translators, authors and practitioners.
