Ahmed's research addresses the social life of memory in post-colonial Algeria. His work addresses the ways in which distinct practices of recalling the past, especially the revolutionary past of the War of Independence, constitute forms of political and ethical subject formation in the present. This work seeks to understand the temporalities that emerge in such practices, and the imaginings of future political possibilities that they engender.
