Looking forward to catching up with colleagues working on Women & Europe in Florence, in less than two weeks, where I will be talking about the challenges of transnational memory - www.eui.eu/events?id=57...
![The politics of memory at the European - transnational - level involves challenges already met by the House of European History (HEH) in Brussels, where the permanent and temporary exhibitions seek to present a narrative about Europe and European integration. The HEH visitors expected a positive narrative, but why should curators ‘focus only on the positive sides in the context of the obvious crises[is] of the European project’? (Dupont 2020).This research does not seek to tell a positive narrative, does not seek to ‘step into the trap of simply creating new myths’ (Abel’s and MacRae 2021, p. 9), and does not present a ‘hagiography’ - as termed by an anonymous reviewer to one of my manuscripts. The focus is on women’s political agency.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5zex23xjz5qdsnx65chbis6v/bafkreibxfbsrorfgkms4cnyhqgcwxz6h2cljhiizbfozp6aijluakp6cfu@jpeg)
