OCCAS scholars Thordis Arrhenius, Jorge Oterio- Pailos and Lothar Diem will participate in the Inaugural Conference of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies on the Re/theorisation of Heritage Studies. The Association of Critical Heritage Studies, to be launched at this conference, will establish in association with International Journal of Heritage Studies (IJHS) an extensive network of heritage scholars to debate and discuss cutting-edge research in the field of heritage studies. We see Heritage Studies will emerge from diverse disciplinary fields, from public history, memory studies, museology, cultural heritage, tourism studies, architecture and planning, conservation, as well as cultural geography, sociology, cultural studies and policy, anthropology, archaeology and ethnomusicology, artistic research and artistic practices.
