Episode Synopsis
The COST Action Slow Memory (2021–2025), led by Jenny Wüstenberg and Joanna Wawrzyniak, brought together 323 scholars from 44 countries to reframe memory studies. Emerging from a critique of event-focused, fast-paced approaches, the project emphasized slow-moving, dispersed, and structural temporalities of memory. Organized into five working groups, it explored industrial decline, welfare transformations, right-wing memory politics, conflict transformation, and environmental memory. The Action produced publications, teaching resources, policy briefs, and a virtual exhibition, while fostering collaborations across disciplines. As it concludes, Slow Memory endures as a conceptual and methodological framework shaping future scholarship and collective practice. In this episode, hosts Annemarie Majlund Jensen, Vjollca Krasniqi and Hanna Teichler look back and take stock.
