Reminder: The Call for Papers for the third annual conference of the Memory Studies Association (MSA), which takes place in Madrid from 25-28 June 2019, will close soon! Submit your abstracts for papers, panels, roundtables and other events on any topic in Memory Studies directly to the MSA submission portal. The general deadline is 1 October.
Of course, one does not have to present a paper to attend the conference. We also have space for presiders and commentators, as well as welcome non-presenters. Conference registration will start in early 2019.
Keynotes
Our keynote speakers for MSA Madrid will include the recent recipient of the Peace Prize of the German Book Fair Aleida Assmann (Konstanz University) and the Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist and memory scholar Viet Than Nguyen (University of Southern California).
We will also feature a Roundtable with Susannah Radstone, Jie-Hyun Lim, Darlene St. Clair and Ciraj Rassool on “Memory Traditions around the World.” In addition there will be many other exciting events, such as a special session with Elizabeth Jelin, theatre performances, exhibitions, workshops, and excursions (i.e. to the Valley of the Fallen from where the body of Franco is about to be removed).
We hope you will join us!
Kind regards,
Aline Sierp, Jenny Wüstenberg & Jeffrey Olick (Co-Presidents)
Francisco Ferrándiz, María García Alonso, Marije Hristova & Johanna Vollmeyer (Local Organizers)
