Subject: Memory, Narrative and Histories Seminar series
Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories
University of Brighton
Seminar series 2009
Following our successful launch symposium on 6th December, the new Centre
for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories at the University of
Brighton is pleased to announce our first seminar series beginning in
January 2009. The aim of this first series is to profile a range of work
by researchers from right across the University. Seminars will be held on
Wednesday evenings on a number of sites to encourage cross-Faculty debate
and the widest possible involvement in the Centre. Each session will begin
at 6.00 pm with a glass a wine and a chance to meet and talk before the
paper at 6.30 pm. Papers will be approx. 40-45 mins followed by
discussion, ending by 8.00 pm, with the opportunity to continue informally
in some suitable local venue.
THE FIRST SEMINAR IN THE SERIES IS NEXT WEEK
14 January: Dr Lucy Noakes, 'War on the web: Remembering the Second World
War in the 21st Century'
6.00 for 6.30 until 8.00 pm in large conference room (M57), Centre for
Research and Development, Grand Parade main building, University of
Brighton.
This paper examines the relationship between cultural memory and new
digital technologies in contemporary Britain. Through a focus on the BBC
‘People’s War’ website, it will explore the extent to which the interactive
nature of the internet is reshaping the dominant memory of the Second World
War circulating today.
Dr Lucy Noakes is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Historical and
Critical Studies. She is a historian who researches in the fields, of war,
gender and memory, and her publications include War and the British: Gender
and National Identity 1939-1991 and Women and the British Army: the Gentle
Sex at War 1907-1948
