International Conference on Memory, Politics, and Power Relations (ICMPPR-26)
**International Conference on Memory, Politics, and Power Relations (ICMPPR-26)** is a professional and academic conference held in Beirut, Lebanon on October 23–24, 2026. Participants present and discuss research on the intersections of memory, politics, and power dynamics, engaging with scholarly work across disciplines and contributing to peer-reviewed discourse in these fields.
Why it matters
For students and delegates interested in politics, history, society, or public discourse, this conference sits at the intersection of how societies remember the past and how those memories shape political life and power structures.
Because the event is in person, it can also offer a valuable setting for direct discussion, networking, and exposure to interdisciplinary perspectives on politically and socially important questions.
How to prepare
A strong way to prepare is to review core ideas related to collective memory, political narratives, identity, state power, and the role of institutions in shaping public understanding of the past. Delegates may also benefit from following current debates where historical memory influences present-day politics.
Since no committees are listed, prepare broadly rather than for a single specialized track. Bring a few well-developed questions on how memory affects governance, conflict, reconciliation, and public discourse so you can engage productively across sessions.
