CfA: Memory Matters: Non-Human Agents in Memory Studies

7th Annual Graduate Workshop of the GS OSES at the University Regensburg in cooperation with the Leibniz ScienceCampus Europe and America in the Modern World.

22 July 2025

From witnessing stones and talking rivers to breathing ruins: The 2026 Graduate Workshop Memory Matters: Non-Human Agents in Memory Studies seeks to highlight how materials, objects, geological strata, and the environment function both as archives of (collective) memory and as agents that foster memory practices outside, beyond, and at times against well-established institutions and dominant narratives. The workshop will be held from 05–06 February 2026 at the University of Regensburg and invites applications that explore entanglements between material culture and memory studies.
