"Memory and Trauma" International Conference 5-6 December 2026 - London/Online organised by London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research Memory and trauma are two deeply interconnected phenomena that have captivated the attention of scholars and professionals across various disciplines. Understanding the complex interplay between these two elements is essential for comprehending how individuals, communities, and societies cope with and recover from traumatic experiences.

Through interdisciplinary dialogue, we aim to advance our understanding of how memory influences and is influenced by traumatic experiences, fostering resilience, healing, and justice for individuals and communities affected by trauma. The conference invites scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to submit their research proposals for an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex relationship between memory and trauma.
