“Digital Memory” and the Directions of History Education - Curating Digital Memory and History in Multivocal and Social Ways, and Engaging with Temporal Multiplicity and the Datafication of Memory -

This article first introduces the emerging international discourse on “digital memory” and then proposes broad directions for history education in the digital age. It examines this discourse from the perspectives of transformations in modes of memory and in the subjects of memory. Based on this analysis, the article suggests two key directions for history education: first, to curate digital memory and history in a multiple and socially engaged manner; second, to read and represent history while recognizing the multiplicity of temporality and the datafication of memory.
