NEWS and Upcoming events
Thank you all for an excellent 2011 - 2012.
This was the final year for the Memory and Identity Working Group. We would like to thank all our speakers, respondents, and participants for four years of discussion and thought on this topic. We hope to continue such discussions in different fora in the coming years.

What is the Memory and identity working group?
The Memory and Identity Working Group of the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of California, Berkeley exists to foster scholarship and encourage dialogue across the department's diverse traditions.
The working group revolves around the concept of Memory and Identity, a theoretical approach to understanding the formation of history and culture evidenced in texts, film, and other media.
The Memory and Identity Working Group is sponsored by the Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities and the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of California, Berkeley.
