Rethinking Heritage
This project examines the modern conceptualization of heritage and its associated preservation and conservation techniques and policies. The research takes an interdisciplinary approach and includes anthropologists, geographers, political scientists and scholars in tourism. It deals with both theory and particular case studies, and is currently funded through several competitive grants in Spain and Chile, with collaborators in the US, UK, Italy, Chile and Spain. The project relates research to professional practice and teaching -like the international workshop “Valuable-RESIDE”, funded by the EU.
