Utrecht Forum for Memory Studies

The Utrecht Forum for Memory Studies offers an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working in the field of cultural memory who share a common concern with:

developing new ways of exploring the transnational and trans-medial dynamics of cultural memory in a globalising world;
exploring the complex history of memory cultures;
the role of memory practices in (international) conflict and in conflict resolution.

All those interested are invited to attend our events.

For further information, please contact Susanne Knittel.
