Dear Colleagues:
The Nottingham Trent University Geography and Modern Languages departments are currently organising a symposium entitled "Memory, Memorials and Testimonies: Framing the Past", which is due to take place on the 26th of November.
The symposium is designed principally to enable PhD students researching 'memory-related' subjects to meet, present their subjects of investigation and compare approaches. So far we have speakers talking on the Berlin Holocaust memorial, memorialisation in London, children's views of the Holocaust and Hiroshima, and memory conflicts in the Middle East.
We would welcome further offers of papers from PhD students interested in participating in the colloquium. We would particularly welcome papers on the relationship between memory and literature and/or film. Papers addressing political, social or other cultural aspects of relevance to the title would also be of great interest.
If there is anyone else out there who would like to come and offer a paper who is NOT a PhD student, please get in touch: while the focus is largely on PhD students, it need not be exclusively so.
With very best wishes
Bill Niven
