Slow Memory Study Group

•

The slow memory study group reads texts related to history, memory and time that are suggested by members of the COST group. Our goal is to foster conversation among the working groups and develop a conceptual framework in slow memory. During the academic year, we meet online the second Monday of every month. The study group is open to all members of the COST action. Previous attendance is not required. All are welcome to suggest readings and attend when they can.

The list of previous readings can be found here.
