Oct 22 – Webinar Memory Politics through National Lenses
Registration link
October 22nd, 17:15 CET – 8:15 am Vancouver Time and 11:15 Ottawa Time
In Europe and Canada, debates over collective memories of 20th-century traumas (e.g. the World Wars, fascism, the Holocaust, colonialism, and the legacy of communism and the Cold War) and populists’ appeals to ‘the people’ have challenged Europe’s democratic culture and project of integration. This webinar on Memory Politics explores how the 20th century’s past is (re)interpreted and commemorated through national lenses.
