| dc.description.abstract | The article “AESOP Memories” by Agnes Matoga introduces a project initiated by the AESOP Young Academics Network (YAN) with the aim of preserving and sharing the history of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP). This initiative focuses on collecting and presenting personal memories, stories, and artefacts from AESOP members through oral history interviews, under the guidance of a dedicated Advisory Board. The project is driven by the desire to: Highlight AESOP’s rich history, beginning with its foundation in 1987 by Klaus Kunzmann and others. Foster intergenerational dialogue between founding members and young academics. Digitally archive both stories and physical memorabilia (e.g., notes, posters). Increase transparency, foster community reflection, and support institutional memory. Key elements of the project include: Voluntary participation from interviewees and interviewers. Development of an interview guide to ensure quality and consistency. Establishment of an AESOP Memories Advisory Board for training and oversight. An ongoing, open-ended timeline with plans to publish select stories in disP – The Planning Review and on the AESOP website using interactive media. The article emphasizes the methodological importance of oral history—not merely recording what is said, but understanding how and why stories are told. The project embodies a collective effort to honor AESOP’s legacy and ensure that its evolution is documented for future generations. | |
