Memory Lab
Memory Lab is an interdisciplinary lab about memory, broadly conceived. Drawing on expertise from across the University, Memory Lab will explore the process of making memories, how they are stored and later retrieved by individuals, and what impact they have. One of the key drivers of Memory Lab is to understand what happens when this fluid process for the individual is brought into the context of group or social memory, and how these manifest as ‘collective’ (first-hand, generational) or ‘cultural’ (mediated, transgenerational) memories. By bringing history, literature, and education theory together with psychology and neuroscience, Memory Lab will create a unique forum for conversations about social, cultural, and individual memories.

Event 1: ‘Brainstorming’: what does memory mean to you?
13 November 2024, The ARC 237B, 1-4pm
What does memory mean to you? Is it banal and practical (‘I always forget my keys’), is it personal or family oriented (such as making a family tree), is it about heritage and identity? Something else? In this Introductory session, we will explore memory in an open and informal setting. The Directors of Memory Lab will introduce their own specialist branch of memory studies before opening up to interactive group work.
Free drinks and snacks to follow.
