In an age of global communication, the making of histories and memories 
is closely connected to diverse and moving media landscapes. 
Thekaleidoscope of different media, memories and histories influences 
the remembering, forgetting and archiving of events and processes,and 
isthereforeconstantly shaping and reshapingindividual and collective 
identities. This PGR conference will address the underlying power 
structures of the relationshipbetween the three ever-evolving fields by 
foregrounding interdisciplinary research that crosses the boundaries 
separatingthem. Newandmorenuanced ways of understanding the past as well 
as the present can be discovered byincludingmedia technologies that are 
developingthrough time as well as different understandings of both 
memory and history, so that multiple realitiescan be explored. In this 
sense, this conference is interested in the moving character ofmedia, 
memories and histories, which do not only travel with the subjects that 
inhabit them, but are further constantly transmitted throughdiverse 
forms of communicationbetween humans, objects and technologies.

This PGR conference aims to explore diverse methodological and 
theoretical approaches that discuss the constantly changing relationship 
between the three fields. We are interested in ideas and 
conceptualisations of migrating, traveling and transmitted memories, 
histories and media. There are no limitations in terms of methodological 
practices within the fields and we are particularly enthusiastic to 
receive applications from those who use critical and creative methods in 
their research.  

This one-day conference,held at the Loughborough University’s London 
campus, welcomes postgraduate and early career researchers. Loughborough 
University attempts at facilitating an environment where afast-growing 
area of expertise is accessible to researchers at an early stage across
