As part of the wider programme of the Steel Cities Conference we invite researchers from all disciplines to reflect upon the function, form and emblematic nature of steel within tourism and travel in past, present and future contexts. Indicative themes of interest include:
• Material diasporas: trade, tourism and the diffusion of material culture
• Tourism and imaginaries of steel making: Between nostalgia and fantasy
• Technological innovation in the structures and mobilities of international tourism and hospitality
• Steel 'works' - tourism and the problems and possibilities of urban regeneration
• Alchemists, Blacksmiths and Magicians: Travel and the diffusion of knowledge
• Excalibur or the metaphorical journey from stone to iron: Travel, popular culture and pragmatic narratives of iron and steel
