Putting Memory in Place Conference

“A community, if it is to last, must exert a kind of centripetal force, holding local soil and local memory in place.”

      
Wendell Berry

The Center on Aging and Community collaborated with multiple units of the university to sponsor and coordinate a series of academic and public events that explored the relationships between memory and place and identified how memories and remembering, as a civic engagement process, benefit individuals and communities.

Held in Bloomington February 22-23, the workshop brought together a unique assemblage of humanists, social scientists, community-based practitioners, information scientists and the local community to explore how new technologies can help sustain individual and community memory.
