'Valuing the Historic Environment' 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 discussion board.
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 third colloquium associated with this cluster takes place on
the 6th July 2007. The main focus of the colloquium is 'Museumisation
and Historic Environments'.
There are a limited number of places available, there is no cost
to attend but we are not normally able to pay expenses. Expressions
of interest in attending should briefly describe how the persons
experience will enable them to make a significant contribution to
debate in the colloquia. Expressions of interest should be sent
to Anna Woodham.
The closing date for expressions of interest in attendance for
Colloquium 3 is 15 June 2007
