The Cultural Identity and Memory Studies Institute (CIMS), previously known as the Cultural Identity Studies Institute (CISI) and the Institute of European Cultural Identity Studies (IECIS), was set up in 1998 for the study of the collective identities of the countries of continental Europe. As we have gradually expanded to refer to other culture-zones, including the Arabic- and Persian-speaking world; the ex-Soviet republics; Latin America; French-speaking Africa, Canada and the Caribbean; as well as Britain, in 2016 we dropped the “European” from the title, becoming the Cultural Identity Studies Institute. In 2020 we adopted our current name to reflect the importance of memory in our understanding of identity in its many guises.

Our research at CIMS comprises various perspectives, methodologies and theoretical frameworks underpinned by a shared interest in interdisciplinary explorations of cultural identity and cultural memory. The Institute seeks to bring together different approaches in an innovative way and to engage with both the academic community and the wider public.
