For two and a half balmy days in September 2014, the 10th International Conference of the Association for Low Countries Studies (ALCS) took place at University College London, kindly supported by the Nederlandse Taalunie (Dutch Language Union). Accompanied by readings from award- winning poet Ester Naomi Perquin, in part inspired by her experiences of conflict as a Dutch prison warden, and a show- and- tell session with impressive items from peaceful and less- peaceful times in the history of the Low Countries, held by Marja Kingma, the curator of Dutch and Flemish collections at the British Library,3 the conference brought together researchers from the UK, the Low Countries and further afield (from Budapest to Berkeley), exploring the theme of discord and consensus in the Low Countries through the centuries.
