Here at the University of Liverpool we’ve been busy researching our Markets and Fairs case study. Our focus falls on the everyday social and economic activities and interactions between Romani and non Romani people at horse fairs in the UK and in Germany.

Spanish Team is happily busy in these months. Since July, we have been working in different archives and documentation centres trying to follow the traces of the Romani figures we seek to know better: Helios Gómez, Sandra Jayat and Ronald Lee, among others.

Anna G. Piotrowska has recently published a new article entitled “The Romany Musical Versatility: the Case of Gypsy Disco-Polo” in the journal Heritage of Centuries.

The famous European Solidarity Centre in Gdansk, Poland, has been the venue for the HERA Joint Research Programmes (JRP) «Uses of the Past» and «Public Spaces» Conference on the 11th and 12th of September 2019. Some members of the BESTROM Consortium (María Sierra, Eve Rosenhaf, Anna G. Piotrowska, Juan Pro, Tamara West and Begoña Barrera) attended this conference, which aimed to showcase the research being undertaken by HERA funded projects and to raise the profile of the Humanities among national research councils and the EU.
