Call for Papers | 14th Cambridge Heritage Symposium

The Cambridge Heritage Research Centre is due to host the 24th Annual Cambridge Heritage Symposium between the 19th and 20th of June 2024 in the McDonald Building, Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge. Entitled Heritage Expertise: Paradigm or Platitude? this year’s symposium provides the first constructive attempt to critically interrogate the skills and roles of those working and researching within heritage spheres. More importantly, the symposium makes an innovative and significant contribution to heritage theory, practice, and methodologies by focusing on skills and roles, some of which have been overlooked by the participative turn in heritage theory and practice.
