Another bright and warm morning in London for Day 2 of #asmcfLondon2026: lots of interesting panels this morning - from pedagogy and ecology to grief and memory - and workshops this afternoon.
Panel Sessions 2A-C interrogate Crisis and Identity, reveal Temporalities of Catastrophe and the representations of Art in Crisis.
Our AGM had fond farewells to Exec members Nicole Fayard & Oliver Davis, & PG Rep Zooey Ziller, and welcomed new Conference Officer Sophie Ellis & new PG Rep Eli Jeannin. There are also some exciting new developments in the pipeline to support the ECA community. Watch this space!
Our first panel sessions brought in witnesses to crisis through a poetry, non-fiction, film and novels in Panel 1A, and the French nation in crisis in Panel 1B.
Our first session was from @DrFionaBarclay and @mckelvey_helen: sharing insights from the TransCoLL and Language Trends projects on the state of French across the UK and Ireland, with some fascinating comparisons between the different nations.
It's time for our annual conference! We are looking forward to 2 days of enriching conversations around the important topic of Crisis or Catastrophe. Follow along to hear what's going on! #asmcfLondon2026
