Since F. C. Bartlett, students of
memory have recognized the importance of social influences in shaping memory,
yet to a surprising degree, memory researchers have sought to control for these
effects rather than study them. The situation is changing,
however. Among other topics, the study of conversational influence
on memory, collaborative remembering, cultural differences in
memorizing and remembering, and collective memory have burgeoned in the last
decade or so. The workshop is designed to provide a separate space for researchers
interested in these and related topics. Although time will be
limited, we hope to provide a forum for interested researchers and an
opportunity for them to get to know each others’ work.
The social aspects of memory
workshop will be held in affiliation with SARMAC.
Interested researchers are invited
to submit a proposal for a talk. We plan to adopt a “blitz” format
and limit each talk to five minutes, followed by a discussion period of 10 minutes. This
format should provide both an overview of the range of research currently
exploring social aspects of memory, but, more importantly, allow participants
to share their different perspectives.
In order to submit a proposal for a
presentation, send a 100-word abstract to the email below by March 29, 2013. Participants in the
workshop must be registered attendees at SARMAC 2013.
Proposal should be submitted to:
SocialMemorySARMAC2013@gmail.com
And include:
• Presenter’s Name, Affiliation, and
Email
• A list of co-authors, with their
affiliations
• A title
• A 100-word abstract
The submission should be in the form
of a doc or docx file, with the last name of the presenter, followed
by the initial of the first name, as the file name. The subject
heading for the email should be the same as the file name.
