Sign up for the inaugural conference organised by the Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures

The Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures (PCMC) welcomes delegates to its inaugural international conference, held in collaboration with the Department of History at Hong Kong Baptist University.
This interdisciplinary conference aims to unite scholars and practitioners from around the globe who work at the intersection of urban and maritime studies, humanities, and social science research and impact.
Sessions will focus on a variety of themes, including sailortown, marginalised voices in maritime communities, international horizons and maritime mobilities, maritime museums and the modern waterfront.
The conference is generously sponsored by Lloyd’s Register Foundation. This sponsorship is supporting conference fees for students and independent scholars. 
Professor Brad Beaven and Dr Karl Bell, Co-directors of PCMC, said: “We are delighted to receive this support from Lloyd’s Register Foundation for our inaugural international conference. The Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures puts learning from our maritime past at the core of our mission. The sponsorship will enable us to open the conference to a broader range of participants, to continue to encourage emerging and independent scholars, and forge new dialogues with our partners in heritage and public history institutions.”
