Following the success of this year’s inaugural conference, we want to continue fostering the breadth of scope in topics and speakers by creating an inclusive space for participants to come together to share, discuss, and develop ideas and practices which challenge assumptions, focus research and generate new thinking. The conference is open to researchers, academics, PhD students, practitioners, artists, curators, archivists and activists working in and across all areas of British popular culture and cognate disciplines and utilising various methodologies and multi/trans disciplinary frameworks.

There will again be a public-facing day hosted by The Cornish Bank, a grassroots music venue and community arts space in Falmouth. Confirmed participants are Cornish filmmaker BAFTA Award winning, Mark Jenkin director of Bait (2019), Enys Men (2022) and forthcoming Rose of Nevada (2025), and Welsh-Cornish musician and Welsh music prize winner, Gwenno, whose output includes, Cornish language album Tresor (2022) and Y Dydd Olaf (2014) and Le Kov (2018).

We have been approached by Intellect Publishing with regards to a ‘Handbook on British Popular Culture(s)’ and we will be inviting selected papers delivered at this year’s and the 2026 conference to be included in the handbook.
