Memory technologies increasingly free us up to use memory in other ways. Hamish Linehan and Matthew Sims are at the Palace today, asking how this changes the normative constraints on memory, for us and for other species. #philmemory [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 May 2026 17:02 +0000at://did:plc:y7l6mnvpy5rblqmftfyu7tsk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm7ulvdnwc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahrobins.bsky.social/post/3mlocwmxhak2pOne month from now, IPM5 will be in full swing.

So says M Folescu, who is at The Memory Palace today discussing their book project on Reid's view of memory and faculty psychology.

Sofia Pedrini (Bochum) is at the Palace today, defending the relevance and significance of memory phenomenology. #philmemory [contains quote post or other embedded content]21 Apr 2026 16:05 +0000at://did:plc:y7l6mnvpy5rblqmftfyu7tsk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjzefpaie22shttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahrobins.bsky.social/post/3mjht7cn5xk2aMany ask about the function of episodic memory. But what's the point of episodic memory? We can learn interesting things about this capacity if we ask what we do with it, rather than just why we have it in the first place. Julian Bacharach (Trinity Dublin) explores this at The Palace today.

How much of this influence is due to memory? Judith Carlisle (Tennessee) is at The Memory Palace today with an intriguing discussion of this question.

Instead, it may have been cobbled together in a stepwise manner.
