THE FUTURE OF HERITAGE

Changing Visions, Attitudes, and Contexts in the 21st Century

will provide a unique global forum for sharing predictions, projections, and warnings about how the field of heritage will look in the coming decades.

As in previous years, we look forward to hosting a wide range of scholars, heritage professionals, educators, and community leaders for two and a half days of stimulating discussions, workshops, and reflections on the current and future state of heritage. Plenary speakers for this year’s colloquium will include:

Nezzar Al-Sayyed (University of California, Berkeley USA) on the Transformation of Tradition in the Developed and Developing Worlds

Gilles Nourissier (Ecole d’Avignon, France) on New Policy Challenges for Heritage Administration Françoise Benhamou (Université de Rouen, France) on the Evolving Economics of Heritage

Alberto De Tagle (Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage) on Emerging Technologies of Conservation

Maurizio Forte (Italian National Research Council) on the Future of Virtual Heritage

Nancy Morgan and Laura Gates (Cane River National Heritage Area, USA) on Communities and their Changing Pasts in the 21st Century

Both the plenary sessions and specialized workshops will focus on the colloquium’s major themes:

Philosophy and Public Policy Economics Technologies Community Participation
