Dynamics of Memories is an interdisciplinary group based at Lancaster. It has established links with scholars and grass-roots institutions in the UK, Austria, Ireland, France, Sweden, Estonia, Spain, Bangladesh, the USA and New Zealand.

Our group seeks to investigate how cultural and historical memories express a struggle for power in the present. Our main collective aim is to bring together the wide spectrum of chronological, geographical and disciplinary areas of expertise covered by its members, which include studies of medieval religious orders, retroactive attitudes towards the Third Reich, Chile's dictatorship, and the wars in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Spain and Algeria.
