  • Summary

  • Memory Studies has been very much shaped by how societies remember extreme violence and sudden conflicts. However, Slow Memory researchers believe that the key social challenges of today – climate change, disinformation, accelerated technological advancements, economic inequalities, and conflicts over values – require not only a rethinking of the conceptual tools but also changes in the methods of conducting research on social remembrance. Why and how should we slow down in the field of Memory Studies? Will this also affect the ways we collaborate with each other? In this podcast, Jenny Wüstenberg (Professor of History and Memory Studies at Nottingham Trent University and Chair of Slow Memory COST Action) and Joanna Wawrzyniak (Director of the Center for Research on Social Memory at the University of Warsaw and Action Vice-Chair) explain what the Slow Memory Action is about in a conversation with Sara Dybris McQuaid (Associate Professor of British and Irish Society and Culture and a member of the Action Core Group).
