Category: Heritage and Place

The Heritage and Place Research Group supports heritage research that is dynamic and “future-focused”, concentrating on subject areas that are linked to sustainability, cultural identity and social cohesion – connecting past, present and future. In addition to publications, the research group provides a home to practice-based and policy-led research, engaging with issues such as adaptive reuse, retrofit, conservation-led regeneration and community participation. Though the research group is wide-ranging in its remit, it forms the natural place for interdisciplinary heritage scholarship which is positioned at the intersection between “people, places and things.”
