Where next for the activist turn in memory studies? (Launch of the The Routledge Handbook of Memory Activism)

Session Information

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.) Titles for the talks:
Charumbira: Some Thoughts on White Supremacy and Global Knowledge Production
Fridman & Gensburger: Unlocking Memory: Did the Covid Pandemic Change Commemorations?
Kennedy: Unsettling the State in Memory Activism
Lim: Transnational Memory Activism and Performative Nationalism in the Global Easts
Rigney: Monument Toppling in the Memory-activism Nexus
Evans will serve as a respondent.
