This conference aims to reframe the North Atlantic as a regio n where the humanities can illuminate the entangled pasts and urgent futur es of colonialism\, by bringing together historians\, literary scholars\, cultural theorists\, Indigenous knowledge keepers\, and researchers from n eighbouring disciplines. In tracing how conflict and cooperation have shap ed both historical settlements and contemporary claims to land\, language\ , and identity\, we seek to foster critical conversations on the decolonia l responsibilities of scholarship – and on the transformative power of n arrative\, memory\, and cultural expression in imagining more than just No rth Atlantic futures.

\n\n

By situating medieval and early modern set tlements within this continuum of conflict and co-operation\, we invite in terdisciplinary dialogue – among historians\, archaeologists\, literary scholars\, and Indigenous knowledge holders – on how colonial encounters have never been one-sided impositions but negotiated spaces of contestati on and coexistence.
