The activities of the network is funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research in 2011-12 and will have a focus on the aesthetics of memory, the practice of memory culture, and memory cultures and transnationalism.
In 2011 and 2012 the network will organize series of 8 graduate seminars, some in cooperation with The University of London, 3 internal working seminars with all members of the network, and 3 open international conferences with invited guest speakers.
