With the theme of Memory & Monument-Making: Repairing our Racial Karma, the focus of the conference is on the makers of monuments and how they conceive of memory, especially when memorializing difficult historical events. Moving beyond the wartime Japanese American incarceration, the conference brings together leading figures in memory and monument work around racial and religious exclusion and trauma amongst a myriad of communities in the U.S. as well as from communities around the world. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Japanese American National Museum and the Japanese American Confinement Sites Consortium (JACSC).
