Further Information about this session:
Noel Packard, myself, am organizing this new session to expand beyond a similar session, titled, "Sociology of Memory: New and Classical Conceptualizations of Memory, Personal or Commodity, Public or Private?" which I organized for the Pacific Sociological Association annual meeting for 15 years (2001 to 2016). I welcome Social Scientists to present research regarding memory in all forms in this new forum, which examines individual, collective and collected memory - together in one panel. Presenters who want to participate in this session please contact me directly, so I can coordinate a complete panel, that the NSSA will approve as a full session, for the Fall 2016 meeting. I am honored that the NSSA has authorized me to form this new session for the NSSA’s small, pleasant, congenial Professional Development fall meeting.
