Porous Archives is a continuing exploration of critical historical geographies (for more on this idea, please see here) and whilst Porous Archives 2 will be the last conference-type event we hold as part of this exploration, there will be other events following
Reading/writing groups and publication opportunities: throughout 2026 we’re running a series of hybrid events with participants at these events encouraged to share and develop the ideas presented at Porous Archives 1 and 2 into chapters/papers for an edited collection as part of the HGRG research series and/or a themed issue of a suitable journal.
If you’d like to take part in any of these events, please e-mail Paul at paul.wright3@ncl.ac.uk for initial information or check back here…
