Cultural Memory – Memory Culture(s). Europe’s Past, Present and Future

The Centre for European Studies is delighted to announce its upcoming conference, which takes place from the 9-11 October, and is entitled "Cultural Memory – Memory Culture(s). Europe’s Past, Present and Future."

The ways in which Europe remembers its past are central to shaping its future. From the memory of the Holocaust and the Second World War to the legacies of colonialism, dictatorship, and conflict, the continent’s history remains a site of both reconciliation and contestation. This conference invites scholars to explore the role of cultural memory in shaping European identities, values, and policies. How are memories transmitted across generations? How do different national narratives interact, clash, or converge within a shared European framework? What national and transnational memory cultures are created?
