Workshop on Persistence and Cultural Transmission

This workshop aims to provide a venue for the presentation and discussion of frontier research on the persistence and transmission of cultural traits like norms, preferences, beliefs, behaviours, and customs. It aims to bring together scholars working either on the theoretical or the empirical analysis of determinants and consequences of cultural persistence and transmission, to facilitate a dialogue, generate new ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration.

The workshop will take place on Thursday, the 18th and Friday, the 19th of June 2026 in Belfast (UK) at the Queen’s Business School – Queen’s University Belfast.

The submission deadline is Tuesday, the 31st of March 2026, and acceptance decisions will be communicated by mid-April.

A link to the submission form is reported at the end of this page. Full papers and extended abstracts are accepted. The full paper should be sent before the workshop if an extended abstract is submitted.

There is no workshop fee. However, participants are expected to pay their own expenses for travelling and accommodation.

Lunch and dinner will be provided both days.
