Call for Proposals: dMSA 2024/2025 Events

The MSA announces a call for proposals for the dMSA 2024/25 online events.

dMSA is the MSA’s online events – roundtables and dialogues – devoted to current discussions in memory studies. Thanks to the MSA’s social media and online channels, they reach a large audience within the Association and beyond. We are open to all memory-related issues and to proposals for both single events and series of events. Proposals concerning one of the following fields are especially welcome, including the participation of researchers and practitioners:

• Memory studies and environmental/ecological challenges
• Memory scholars responding to current wars and conflicts
• Memory studies in the age of populism
• Decolonizing memory
• Memory studies and artificial intelligence
• New methodological approaches in memory studies

For the academic year 2024/2025, we accept proposals from all MSA members.

Submissions should include:

• suggested date of the event (from September 2024 to July 2025)
• preliminary title with a short (ca. 150-300 words) description of the topic
• short (ca. 100-150 words) bios of the panellists

We aim to have fruitful discussions that inspire the MSA community. Therefore, we offer support in organizing the event via our Zoom account, streaming it on our YT channel, which currently has almost 600 subscribers, and making announcements via our social media, reaching several thousand observers. Cooperation with other institutions is possible.

Please submit the proposals to dMSA@memorystudiesassociation.org by May 31, 2024, for events taking place between September 2024 and January 2025, and by August 30, 2024, for events between February 2025 and July 2025.
