In this episode of the podcast our host Kyra Araneta is joined by Dr Lucy Bond, based at the University of Westminster. In this episode, we discuss Lucy’s academic journey and current role in higher education. To which she explains her focus on memory and trauma research and how she engages with these concepts on the “Trauma in American Modernity: The Nation and its Limits” module. We also explore the topic of decolonizing memory studies and its connections to colonial legacies and historical recollections — particularly, the imperialist aspects of the field and the need to disrupt Western binaries in memory practices. Additionally, Lucy shares how lecturers might begin to embrace decolonial praxis in the classroom.
