Call for Proposals: dMSA Spring 2025 Events

Dear MSA Members,

The MSA announces a call for proposals for the dMSA spring 2025 online events.

dMSA are 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 events. Especially welcome are proposals including the participation of researchers and practitioners, and concerning one of the following fields.

–    memory studies and environmental/ecological challenges
–    memory scholars responding to current wars and conflicts
–    memory studies in different parts of the world: problematizing peripheries/centers
–    decolonizing memory
–    new methodological approaches in memory studies
–    memory studies in the age of populism and polarization
–    memory studies and artificial intelligence

For the spring 2025, we accept proposals from all MSA members. Submissions should include:

–   suggested date of the event (from March 2025 to July 2025)
–   preliminary title with a short (ca. 150-300 words) description of the topic
–   short (ca. 100-150 words) bios of the panelists and the convenor
–   a defined target group of the event

We aim at fruitful discussions, inspiring for the MSA community. Therefore, we offer support in organizing the event via our Teams account, streaming it on our YT-channel with currently almost 600 subscribers, and announcements via our social media reaching several thousand observers. Cooperation with other institutions is possible.

Please submit the proposals to dMSA@memorystudiesassociation.org by January 15, 2025 for events taking place between March 2025 and June 2025.
