Panel: CMW and some Questions of Time
Collective Memory Work does not take place outside time. Time is both an important resource and a key constraint. This panel addresses various aspects of time in doing Collective Memory Work, both within academic work, and in settings/applications outside research and academia. The panel discusses such issues as: brief, short-term, repeated, intensive, occasional, and long-term Collective Memory Work; the variable length of Collective Memory Work sessions; time gaps between doing research and publication when using CMW for research purposes; the significance of age, ageing generation and disability; and so on.
