Podcast – SlowMemory – CA20105 The Slow Memory Podcast is among the most important deliverables of this COST Action. It is an ongoing project that seeks to bring together the different voices, projects, positions and methodologies we use and explore in relation to the concept of Slow Memory. It will enable us to reach audiences beyond the academic field. As a collaborative undertaking, the Podcast will be produced by Action members and stakeholders in tandem. Future episodes will feature insights in to the research of our various Working Groups, highlighting how Slow Memory can be put into action in work, conflict, politics, the environment, welfare and beyond.

Please do sign this petition we've been working on with Birmingham for Ukraine. Our initial research suggests roughly 30% of Ukrainians in the UK have had problems renewing/getting tenancy agreements and/or job contracts because of difficulties with visas. postsocialistbritain.bham.ac.uk/ukraine/
