The Memory Studies Association

The Memory Studies Association (MSA) is an international organization dedicated to exploring how societies remember and interpret their past. It brings together researchers from various disciplines—such as history, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies—to share insights on collective memory, commemorations, history's impact on identity, and how memories influence current social and political life. By fostering collaboration and dialogue, the MSA promotes a deeper understanding of how memory shapes cultures and societies over time, contributing to both academic research and public awareness about the importance of remembering and understanding history.
