Description

Heritage and Displacement: Intersections of Exile, Culture and Conflict. This project aims to investigate the intersections between heritage and displacement, and the differing ways these are understood by displaced people, governments and global agencies. This project expects to generate new knowledge via an innovative interdisciplinary approach that includes developing a novel conceptual framework, creating an original database and conducting interviews. Expected outcomes include unprecedented empirical insights into how displaced people from the Middle East perceive their heritage, and the extent to which this aligns with the policies of relevant actors. This should provide significant benefits, shaping further intellectual inquiry and the responses of key international agencies to heritage and displacement.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4302 - Heritage, Archive and Museum Studies. Lead: Prof Benjamin Isakhan
