On January 19th, 2024 many contributors to Critical Memory Studies: New Approaches (edited by Brett Ashley Kaplan, Bloomsbury, 2023), gathered to celebrate the volume with a series of lightning talks. Bringing together a diverse array of new and established scholars and creative writers in the rapidly expanding field of memory studies, this collection creatively delves into the multiple aspects of this wide-ranging field. Contributors explore race-ing memory; environmental studies and memory; digital memory; monuments, memorials, and museums; and memory and trauma.
