The network in cultural memory and heritage studies connects researchers from these fields at the Faculty of Humanities and University of Copenhagen. We work within the diverse and multidisciplinary fields exploring the roles played by cultural memory and heritage in societies, communities and environments across the world.

The network is informal and meets regularly, usually twice during the teaching terms, to discuss issues related to research and teaching in memory and heritage studies.

Network members are also involved in developing a new BA-elective in cultural memory and heritage studies and offering PhD courses for Danish and international students. Everyone is welcome to join the network - contact us to join.
