Three years on from the first ‘On Belonging’ conference, join the ERC-funded ‘Travel, Transculturality, and Identity in England, c.1550 – 1700’ (TIDE) project once more to explore questions around identity, migration, and belonging in the early modern period. With a wide ranging choice of panel discussions, roundtables, lightning talks, and creative sessions scheduled over 4 days, 'On Belonging 2' will reflect on how processes of global exchange in the early modern period influenced English perceptions of human identity, and how the movement of peoples, objects, and ideas across the globe shaped English concepts of belonging both at home and abroad. To watch the conference, please follow the Crowdcast link on the TIDE website: http://www.tideproject.uk/on-belonging-2/.

‘On Belonging 2’ is free to attend, although those in permanent employment are warmly encouraged to donate to the Society of Renaissance Studies. The SRS supports scholarly activity at all stages by providing annual postdoctoral fellowships, conference support, public engagement awards, doctoral scholarships and support for students at MA level.
