Vision

Island Dynamics promotes islands studies in all its aspects. We create and communicate knowledge about the cultures and economies of maritime communities and cultural and geographical islands worldwide.

Island Dynamics Conferences
The Island Dynamics Conferences are at the heart of our work. Our vision centres on four core values:

Cross-Sectorality
Island Dynamics Conferences bridge the academic-practitioner divide by facilitating dialogue between scholars and participants from politics, civil society, the arts, and the business world.

Interdisciplinarity
Island Dynamics Conferences involve a wide range of researchers, from folklorists to economists, anthropologists to political scientists, and historians to geographers.

Cultural Exchange
Island Dynamics Conferences are alive with music, dance, and foodscapes, focusing on the host community but also bringing together performers from across the globe.

Accessibility
Island Dynamics Conferences aim to be accessible for all.

Island Dynamics: Occasional Papers
Island Dynamics: Occasional Papers offers a platform for the exchange of research and ideas by publishing peer-reviewed papers, primarily drawn from presentations given at Island Dynamics conferences.
