Speakers in this special session present contemporary examples of how central Memory Activism has become and propose different perspectives on how to go forward in future research. This is the second Roundtable organised for the launch of the Routledge Handbook of Memory Activism. If possible it would be great to feature these two one after the other, with the second in the final slot of a day (so that we can invite people for a celebratory drinks afterwards.)
