On top of all the other incentives to go to ASEN2027 (good papers, etc), I think going to Cluj is basically an act of pilgrimage for scholars of everyday nationalism. #ASEN2027

The 2027 ASEN Conference will take place from 13 to 15 April 2027 at Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj, Romania on 'Who Belongs to the Nation?' The call for papers is out now and is open until 15 November. Head to asen.ac.uk/conference for more info #asen2027

Conference poster with the large title “Who Belongs to the Nation?” and the subtitle “The 36th ASEN Conference • UBB, Cluj • 13–15 April 2027 • asen.ac.uk” over a pale handwritten background. Along the bottom are six color-tinted portraits of people in historical clothing and hats, arranged in a row.

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Liah Greenfeld, who passed away on 13 May. Professor Emerita at Boston University, Greenfeld was among the most influential scholars of nationalism of her generation.

The winner of the Dominique Jacquin-Berdal Essay Prize 2026 is Kamaran Palani for his article, "Layers of Power-Sharing: Intra-Communal Power Rivalry and Its Impact on Power-Sharing System in Iraq" onlinelibrary.wiley....

Graphic announcing “Dominique Jacquin-Berdal Prize Winner 2026” for Nations and Nationalism Early View. The winning article is titled “Layers of Power-Sharing: Intra-Communal Power Rivalry and Its Impact on Power-Sharing System in Iraq” by Kamaran Palani. Below, an abstract explains that Iraq’s consociational system operates through both inter-communal and intra-communal arrangements, and that internal fragmentation during the 2021–2022 government formation crisis undermined broader power-sharing stability. The design uses a light background with red headings and dark grey body text.
