Preserving Historic Environments Cluster

Invitation for Applicants (1st Symposium January 2007)
Location: United Kingdom


'Preserving Historic Environments' is a new, cross disciplinary research
cluster for the discussion of frameworks of value in relation to the
preservation of historic environments. The cluster will meet at three
one day colloquia to take place between January and July 2007 and on an
online wiki, available from the cluster www from January 2007. Detailed
notes documenting the discussion at each colloquium will also be
available from the cluster www. We aim for the activities of this
cluster to lead to further research connections, collaborations,
opportunities and outputs, with the potential to influence academic
debate and policy formulation.

The first colloquium associated with this cluster takes place on the
26th January 2007. The main focus of the colloquium is 'Heritage of the
Recent Past' but it will also serve to kick off the cluster activities
more generally and especially we want this first colloquium to set the
tone of the series by being challenging to the ways in which different
disciplines and the industry understands heritage and the instrumental
implications of these constructions.

There are a limited number of places available, there is no cost to
attend but we are not normally able to pay expenses. Applications to
attend should include a 100 word statement of how the applicants'
research or work will enable them to make a significant contribution to
debate in the colloquia.

The closing date for applications for Colloquium 1 is 01/12/06.
