Call for Abstracts
The Tourism and Languages Subject Group (the Business School) and the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Group at Edinburgh Napier University are delighted to invite abstract submissions for the Roots Revived: Memory, Legacy, Heritage and Tourism conference, which will take place at Craiglockhart Campus, Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, EH14 1DJ, on October 17, 2024.
The conference provides a platform for exploring the complex dynamics of difficult and dissonant heritage within the broader context of memory, legacy, heritage, and tourism. Recognising the lasting impact of historical traumas, contested narratives, and marginalised voices, this conference seeks to promote dialogue, understanding, and reconciliation. The conference also seeks to explore the ethical, social, and cultural complexities involved in commemorating and engaging with painful histories.
This interdisciplinary conference aims to bring together academics, practitioners, and enthusiasts from a range of backgrounds to engage in meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange.
We welcome abstract submissions for concurrent oral sessions and poster presentations. Reviewers will base their decisions solely on the abstract. The abstract should briefly summarise the research or work, including the objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. It should also clearly state the significance and potential impact of the findings. A well-constructed abstract, characterised by clarity, conciseness, and coherence, enhances the likelihood of acceptance. Originality and significance are essential for paper acceptance.
Submitted abstracts should be between 250 and 300 words, presented as a single paragraph with 1.5 spacing. Please avoid including tables, figures, or references.
Please submit your abstract to rootsrevived@napier.ac.uk no later than September 9, 2024 and indicate in your message whether you prefer to do an oral presentation or a poster presentation. Make sure to include all necessary information such as title, author(s) names and affiliations, contact details, and a short biographical statement (no more than 100 words).
