The Memory Lab at the University of Glasgow is hosting this event, exploring the complexities of memory, conflict, and peace in our lives. The event looks at how memories shape how communities understand their pasts, define their identities in the present, and imagine their futures. It will delve into case studies that investigate how memory contributes to conflict to address questions such as: How do official narratives sustain nationalism and preparedness for war? In what ways do digital media amplify, reshape, or contest memories of past violence? What can we learn from societies where memory of division remains a site of contestation? At the end of the event, the conversation will turn towards peacebuilding. Hyab Yohannes from the UNESCO RIELA team will be a speaker. |
