2025 Symposium- Memory and Material Culture

5 emerging scholars and one keynote speaker will explore the topic "memory and material culture."

“Memory and Material Culture” asks how do objects embody memory? How can this change over time? What stories are embedded within everyday items? Do these material memories recover forgotten history? Do they align with existing collective narratives? How does cultural heritage manifest through tangible objects? How do power dynamics influence the creation and interpretation of material culture? What is the interaction of memory and materiality- do objects themselves have a memory?
