One of the central purposes of the Memory Studies Association is to facilitate exchange between everyone interested in the field. With this in mind, we list here Centers, Institutes and Networks engaged in the study of memory – as well as other useful online resources. Please inform us of any websites you would like us to add here: msacenters@memorystudiesassociation.org
We are honoured to have Jenny Wüstenberg as the network chair.
Call for Participation!
Dear Research Center Leaders/Representatives,
Join us at our next in-person meeting of the Network in Nottingham from 21 to 22 November! We hope to see many of you there!
In preparation for the meeting, please complete the Google form before 1 October (https://lnkd.in/dW4N_Gqw).
We hope to have one 90-minute hybrid session during the conference to include those who cannot travel to Nottingham. This will likely happen on the afternoon of November 21 (British time). Will you be able to attend such an online meeting?
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Nottingham in November! In addition to our discussions, you can look forward to visiting the National Justice Museum and participating in a walking tour focused on the city’s history of resistance.
Do get in touch with any ideas or queries beforehand!
Best wishes,
Jenny Wustenberg
