The conference “Memory, Identity, Holocaust”
The themes of this conference are the mutual relations between the research of identity and collective memory, the Holocaust of the Jews and the qualitative methodology used for this purpose, with particular reference to biographical and in-depth interviews.
The conference's three thematic blocks are linked to the academic achievements of Prof. Małgorzata Melchior, a research fellow at the Institute of Applied Social Sciences of Warsaw University and a long-time collaborator with the IFiS PAN Holocaust Research Centre. She has been supervisor to masters and doctoral students, a mentor to young researchers and the author of works which, over the years, have inspired researchers who have studied the sociology of identity, the historiography of the Holocaust and memory based on the use of biographical interview.
Due to limited seating in the conference hall, we ask that you register your intention to participate. Please do so by emailing either [email protected] or [email protected] prior to 17th Sept. 2018.
The conference is organised by POLIN Museum, the PAN Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, the Institute of Applied Social Sciences of Warsaw University and the IFiS PAN Holocaust Research Centre. The conference will be held in the Polish and English languages (without simultaneous translations).
