The course is designed to be highly interactive, with sessions led by both instructors in a virtual classroom environment. Participants are strongly encouraged to come prepared by studying the assigned materials before each seminar. Active participation in the exercises during the session is not just expected but also a vital part of the learning process.
The conversation series, Ways of Remembering: Memories, Representations, Contexts, will explore the current state of memory studies, with a particular focus on violent and contested histories, and the various ways in which these histories are represented or silenced. In each session, guest scholars and cultural practitioners from a diverse range of contexts and disciplines will engage in critical conversations about specific cases of memorialisation and cultural representation of difficult pasts.
