| Opplysninger | Collective memory-work (CMW) is a method of research and learning that relies on a group working together on a topic of shared interest. It fits closely with other qualitative approaches such as participatory and feminist research methods, collaborative auto-ethnography, narrative inquiry, and emancipatory adult learning. In CMW, participants write short stories from their own memory on a theme agreed in advance. The stories are subsequently scrutinized by the group via a detailed textual analysis and a recursive discussion on the topic in question. Due to COVID restrictions in 2020, a planned CMW workshop at an Irish higher education institution had to be delivered online. The purpose of this case study is twofold: first, it provides an overview of the CMW approach and how it is implemented in practice, detailing the concrete activities carried out in the workshop. Second, the case study provides insight into running a workshop of this kind online and the perceived benefits identified by participants of adopting such an approach. The case study demonstrates that CMW as a form of research practice generates an egalitarian group dynamic, encourages active listening, and enables the co-creation of textual analysis in a spirit of collectivity and mutual respect. We suggest that CMW is a versatile method that can be usefully deployed not just within but beyond academic settings.
