Centre for the Sciences of Place and Memory

Description

The Centre for the Sciences of Place and Memory was established at the University of Stirling in late 2024, based in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and anchored in Philosophy while drawing on psychology, neuroscience, the social sciences and the arts. It was founded on a Leverhulme International Professorship of just under four million pounds, running for five years, and brings together two directors, seven research fellows, seven doctoral researchers, a six-member advisory board and thirty-eight associates.

Its work is organised around six workstreams: memory, truth and the past; place knowledge and place memory; collaborative wayfinding; technologies of navigation and memory; disorientation and difficult pasts; and the cognitive ecologies of the city. The centre runs a seminar series that has met regularly since October 2024, holds symposia at venues across Stirling, and its members draw on the Faculty's seed-funding scheme for collaborative projects.
