CIMS organises various events related to cultural identity and cultural memory throughout the academic year. Staff and students from any discipline are welcome to attend these events and join in the conversation!
Seminar Series

Our institute welcomes leading scholars in the field of Memory Studies for guest lectures every year. At each lecture, one person will present a current research project for approximately 45 minutes; this will be followed by time for questions and discussion, including topics beyond the project presented.
Brown Bag Talks

Our Brown Bag talks are 60 minutes lunchtime sessions. The ongoing research work showcased in these sessions will give students and staff plenty of food for thought to munch on and discuss in an informal and cross-disciplinary environment. Come along and join in the discussion!
Postgrad Events

Our postgraduate events offer a space for students and early-career researchers to engage with current debates in memory studies. Currently, we offer a reading group, masterclasses and an annual symposium, to give PGs the chance to share and discuss their work.
