South Africa and Germany in Parallel](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/contradictions-in-memory-south-africa-and-germany-in-parallel/) - South Africa and Germany have frequently been lauded for their approaches to responsibly dealing with their pasts.

An emblematic moment of resistance against Soviet domination, the 1956 Uprising has been remembered, reinterpreted, and mobilized by successive regimes and generations in varying forms and intensities. In - [Exploring Contested Memories Through Linguistic Landscape Studies](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/exploring-contested-memories-through-linguistic-landscape-studies/) - This roundtable addresses commemoration through a sociolinguistics perspective, and explores how contested memories are negotiated in the linguistic landscape (LL) of urban public space. The LL, as a dynamic ecology of linguistic and semiotic resources, constructs and signifies public space (Shohamy & Waksman, 2009) and so, bottom-up LLs signs (e.g. graffiti, banners, posters, protest performances, - [Memory Politics, Democracy and Agency: Challenges and Possibilities for Museums in Precarious Times](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/memory-politics-democracy-and-agency-challenges-and-possibilities-for-museums-in-precarious-times/) - On March 27, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order entitled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” challenging the independence of the Smithsonian institution and other federal history and memory sites to present difficult aspects of US history.

This roundtable critically engages with the intensified imperial dynamics following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, focusing on the urgent calls from Ukraine and other entities to de-imperialize and de-colonize spheres of - [Possible Futures: Memory and Creativity in the Age of Generative AI](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/possible-futures-memory-and-creativity-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/) - As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, its influence on human cognition, especially on memory and creativity, demands urgent scholarly attention.

It draws into conversation two recent monograph studies which track, in distinct ways, how life writing from former British colonies commemorates formal decolonisation. Led by Professor Elleke Boehmer, this conversation examines how the dismantlement of European empires - [Speaking for the Invisible: Vernacular Cultures of Accounting for the Missing and Disappeared in Conflict and Migration](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/speaking-for-the-invisible-vernacular-cultures-of-accounting-for-the-missing-and-disappeared-in-conflict-and-migration/) - This dMSA seminar highlights speakers representing Afterlives – a global research network that centres the missing and the dead to reveal their lasting social and political presence in contexts of violence, conflict, and migration.

It focuses on several thematic dimensions: – Memory activism and grassroots initiatives as everyday acts of resistance and care. - [How Memory Politics Shape Democratic Futures across the Globe](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/how-memory-politics-shape-democratic-futures-across-the-globe/) - As the politics of regret gives way to a climate of revanchist remembrance practices around the world, battles over collective memory are increasingly central in the struggle for democratic futures. This virtual panel examines the various ways that collective memory is wielded in the service of dismantling, challenging, and defending democracy across different contexts. It - [Memory as Resistance: Yugoslav antifascist liberation struggle and its contemporary afterlives](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/memory-as-resistance-yugoslav-antifascist-liberation-struggle-and-its-contemporary-afterlives/) - This online event brings together the discussion of two books that both engage with the memory of Yugoslav partisan resistance and the broader field of antifascist remembrance in its historical and contemporary forms – Gal Kirn’s The Memory of Liberation: Studies on the People’s Liberation Struggle in the (Post-) Yugoslav Context (Faculty of Arts, Ljubljana) - [Decolonising Memory in Wartime: Cultural Heritage and Democratic Practice in Ukraine](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/decolonising-memory-in-wartime-cultural-heritage-and-democratic-practice-in-ukraine/) - The ongoing war in Ukraine has brought into sharp focus the relationship between colonial memory, cultural sovereignty, and democracy. This roundtable examines the thesis that colonial dependence – manifested through the suppression of local memory and culture – has damaged social trust and severed communities from their cultural roots, thereby creating conditions where new democratic - [Irrelevant Encounters: exploring history’s refuse through material and objects](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/irrelevant-encounters-exploring-historys-refuse-through-material-and-objects/) - A stable definition of irrelevance eludes us. From ladders to family photographs, from coins to postcards, irrelevant things demand recognition of their significance in political, affective and knowledge structures. Within this category are found unexpected questions, disregarded stories, or ignored materials that have become history’s refuse. Informed by political, historical and memorial focal points, this - [Regional Memory Dialogues: from the Baltic to the Mediterranean](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/regional-memory-dialogues-from-the-baltic-to-the-mediterranean/) - This proposed dMSA roundtable, organized by members of the ERUA research cluster “Historical Legacies: Law, Memory, and Reconciliation in Shaping National Histories and European Identity,” explores how the legacies of political, cultural, and economic powers and occupations have shaped historical narratives, collective memory, and national identities across Europe.

Physical separation from familiar spaces gives way to psychological displacements in individuals- their memories, identity and self. The objects the individuals gather from the debris of their destructed spaces become materials of memory. These items remind the refugees of their past and reinstall in them their fading memories and dissolving selfhood. - [Memory Policies and Their Role in Enhancing Democratic Resilience: A Multidisciplinary Perspective](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/memory-policies-and-their-role-in-enhancing-democratic-resilience-a-multidisciplinary-perspective/) - Memory policy-making has gained increasing significance in recent discussions concerning collective remembrance, transitional justice, and democratic resilience. Nevertheless, the concept remains somewhat fragmented and insufficiently theorised, resulting in the emergence of various terminologies associated with it or its components, such as memory laws. This dMSA roundtable aims to convene scholars from diverse disciplines to examine - [Leopold II of Belgium & Newcastle University: Remembering colonial legacies in campus histories](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/leopold-ii-of-belgium-newcastle-university-remembering-colonial-legacies-in-campus-histories/) - In 1889, King Leopold II of Belgium made a donation of £500 to the fund-raising campaign for what would become Newcastle University’s Armstrong Building; this donation was followed by invitations from the university to King Leopold to preside over its official opening (1894) and to attend the university’s convocation (1901). It was ultimately found that - [Private Memory/Public History: A Cross-Disciplinary Discussion About Archival Research](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/private-memory-public-history-a-cross-disciplinary-discussion-about-archival-research/) - This panel brings together a public historian, an archivist and archival studies scholar, and a writer of creative nonfiction.

Douglas donated the parcel of land upon which the Bronzeville campus of the University of Chicago stood.

Memorialization practices offer a critical framework for confronting this ambiguous absence, constructing collective memory, and advancing claims for truth, justice and reparation. This webinar discusses the complex relationship between memorialization and enforced disappearances from - [Tourism as Memory-Making: Russian tourism in the shadow of empire – Book launch and discussion](https://www.memorystudiesassociation.org/event/tourism-as-memory-making-russian-tourism-in-the-shadow-of-empire-book-launch-and-discussion/) - This dMSA event launches the book Tourism as memory-making: Russian tourism in the shadow of empire by Alena Pfoser which has been published Open Access this March in the Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies Series.
