    The Nordic TAG (Nordic Theoretical Archaeology Group) Conference 2026 will be held at Linnaeus University in Kalmar, Sweden on 6-9 May. It is organized by the Department of Cultural Sciences at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.

    As an interdisciplinary field, archaeology offers unique perspectives on humanity’s deep history, entanglement with the environment, and unique capacity for culture, communication, technology, and change. How can this perspective be mobilized to affect how we handle the contemporary and future challenges of climate emergency, social inequality, political polarization, and human suffering caused by conflict, food insecurity, forced displacement, and health disparities that follow in their wake? This conference explores the interface between research and activism and the potential for archaeology as a practice - from the contract archaeology trenches to the university lecture halls - to be an active and engaged partner in building just futures. We also seek to problematize the boundaries between scholarship and activism and discuss what our roles as archaeologists can be.
