Rescue is running a small online conference. See the details below:

The destruction of cultural property in time of conflict is not a recent issue. Centuries of war, colonisation and industrialisation – among other ongoing processes- have caused the destruction and displacement of millions of people and objects. We continue to witness the destruction of heritage sites the looting of archaeological and cultural objects, and the displacement of people due to cultural, political, and environmental causes across the world, including Syria, Iraq, Libya, Mali… and more recently in Ukraine. Rescue is dedicating its annual AGM to the topic of the protection of heritage in times of conflict to discuss these wide-ranging issues and their aftermath with this online mini-Conference. It will address both the impact conflict has on tangible and intangible heritage, from people to places.

Please see the following call for two online conferences:

AHRC Heritage is excited to host two timely half-day Conferences led by Hana Morel, titled Global Challenges, Sustainability and the Politics of Heritage and Pathways and Barriers to Climate Action through Heritage Research taking place online on Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 July.

The social and political changes needed for sustainability are complex and entangled alongside a new salience in research and its potential role towards decision-making. While certainly there is a push to improve our understanding of how to approach, understand and manage the Anthropocene, core challenges for the arts and humanities continue through discussion, debate and governance.  These half-day Conferences hope to contribute to the impressive energy and commitment of individuals, institutions and governments that continue despite current social arrangements, by exploring the role of heritage research within the sustainability and climate action movement, and what some of the opportunities and challenges are. Heritage studies itself offers a critical contribution to tackling global challenges, but is often merely an add on to research.

Global Challenges, Sustainability and the Politics of Heritage, 22 July

To register: https://heritage-research.org/events/global-challenges-sustainability-politics-heritage/

The event will focus on:

• What are the opportunities and challenges of the sustainability concept and how can heritage research contribute towards understanding it further?
• How can heritage research help inform evidence-based policies related to sustainable development challenges, such as issues of social justice, instability, and legacies between nations and peoples?
• Can heritage research help ensure successful implementation towards achieving sustainable development (e.g. through ensuring programmes understand and work within local contexts)?
• How can heritage research support effective frameworks of government, or support the political will to transform research and innovation into sustainable long-term practices?

Alison Heritage, Project Manager, ICCROM
