Welcome to the Futures of Memory!

Hello and welcome to Futures of Memory, a project that combines the fields of critical posthumanism with memory studies in the larger context of the reconceiving of what it means to be human in our evermore posthuman world. It also seeks to address questions of non-human memory and mnemic agency—who or what remembers?—in the face of the potentially absolute absence of the human. This SSHRC funded project is headed by Dr. Russell Kilbourn and PhD student Stephanie Lewis and is based at Wilfrid Laurier University. This website will provide a platform for updates on the project’s evolution, publications and other activities, resources for further academic study, and other relevant information for fellow academics and those interested in critical posthumanist studies.
