BRN Bookselling Conference 2026: Spaces of Bookselling

Bangor University | 9–11 September 2026
In association with the Stephen Colclough Centre for the History and Culture of the Book

“For such a space entails the unexpected. The specifically spatial within time-space is produced by that—sometimes happenstance, sometimes not—arrangement-in-relation-to-each-other that results from the multiplicity of trajectories. In spatial configurations, otherwise unconnected narratives may be brought into contact, or previously connected ones may be wrenched apart. There is always an element of ‘chaos.’ This is the chance of space.”
— Doreen Massey, For Space (2005)
