Astrid Erll is one of the most influential contemporary scholars in the field of Memory Studies. As Professor of Anglophone Literatures and Cultures at Goethe University Frankfurt, her work bridges literature, media, culture, and collective memory across global contexts including German, British, South Asian, American, and South African traditions. Her research explores how societies remember through literature, film, photography, and media cultures, with a particular focus on transcultural memory and the circulation of narratives across borders. Erll’s landmark book Memory in Culture has become a foundational introduction to cultural memory studies worldwide. She has also shaped the discipline through major collaborative projects and edited volumes such as A Companion to Cultural Memory Studies and her influential work on travelling memory, trauma, migration, and transnational remembrance. In 2011, she founded the Frankfurt Memory Studies Platform, creating an important interdisciplinary space for memory research. Through projects ranging from Homeric memory to political violence, pandemics, and migration, Astrid Erll continues to demonstrate how memory operates dynamically across cultures, media, and historical moments.
