In an effort to understand the new forms and importance of national memory in an era of growing populism and tribalism, this AAAS conference will bring together leading experts from history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and political science as well as figures from the policy world.
The re-emergence of nationalism around the world has caught most observers by surprise. After decades of assuming that globalization would be accompanied by a reduced commitment to national identity, we are confronted with new nationalist movements in places as diverse as Russia, the UK, Hungary, China, and the U.S. A key resource for pursuing these projects is national memory – looking back to a traumatic event or a time of greatness in order to mobilize a group in the present.
