Memory Studies
Memory studies is a dynamic field of interdisciplinary inquiry. You will learn about memory from different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives and situations. Some of the central issues include the methodological practices of oral history and autobiography; the psychology and performance of memory in traumatic recall, political witness, and legal testimony; the contested politics of commemoration and the material culture of memorials; and the dynamic ways that social remembering and forgetting relate to historical bonds of local, regional, national, and transnational belonging. You may begin this cluster by taking either ANTH 331 or AMST 384 as the core course.
