Cultures of Memory

Welcome to the Cultures of Memory research group. This research group is focused upon the creation of spaces for the discussion, development and dissemination of memory work from across Newcastle University. 

Our coordinating group is built from academics from a range of disciplines (see the 'People' section for more details). Since forming in 2018, we have run a series of workshops and events, developing a network of researchers from across the university in the process.

As we beging to resume activities, we will hold a series of online informal get togethers to talk about potential events and activities. Information on the next of these events will be available here soon. 

You can also keep updated on our events by signing up to our mailing list here.
