Siobhan Kattago

I am an associate professor of political philosophy at the University of Tartu in Estonia with academic interests in collective memory, the philosophy of history, political and social philosophy and twentieth-century European history. In particular, I am interested in how the democratization of the public sphere, the politics of memory and social acceleration of time influence how we think about history, our relation to the past, one another and the world. My publications include: "Reintroducing Hannah Arendt" (2026), "Encountering the Past within the Present: Modern Experiences of Time" (2019), "The Ashgate Research Companion to Memory Studies" (editor, 2015), "Memory and Representation in Contemporary Europe: The Persistence of the Past" (2012) and "Ambiguous Memory: the Nazi Past and German National Identity" (2001).
