Event organizer
Cultural memory and social change supports extensive, critical and multidisciplinary research on cultural memory and its social connections. Cultural memory refers to the collective practices that societies use to build and uphold their relationship to the past, living in the present, and preparing for the future. Memory lives in the present and defines how we understand ourselves and our place in the world as well as how we imagine and shape the future.
