The Cambridge Heritage Research Centre is due to host the 25th Annual Cambridge Heritage Symposium between the 8th and 9th May 2025 in the McDonald Building, Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge. Entitled Pathways of Afterlives: Tracing, Uncovering, and Researching Legacies of the Past, this year’s symposium invites researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to meet this challenge by contributing to this ongoing discussion, considering how we study the legacies of the past. We seek to both showcase the interdisciplinary research on legacies taking place at the University of Cambridge and bring together cutting-edge work on this topic from around the world. The Symposium will create an opportunity to reflect on innovative approaches, challenge (if needed) existing ones, and exchange experiences on effective methods for researching the complex issues of legacy and heritage across time, space, and culture.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words by Friday, 28th February 2025 to the organizers at chrcsymposium@gmail.com
