Memory Studies Association

The Memory Studies Association (MSA) is an international organization dedicated to the academic study of collective and individual memory—how societies and individuals remember, forget, and interpret their pasts. It brings together researchers from diverse disciplines like history, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies to exchange ideas, conduct research, and promote understanding of memory’s role in shaping identities, cultures, and histories. Through conferences, publications, and collaborations, the MSA strives to deepen insights into how memory influences present and future societies.
