Heritage Partnerships (HP)

Description

Heritage Partnerships (HP) marks a step-change in the University of Durham's engagement with cultural heritage protection. Fieldwork-driven evaluation of key monuments and landscapes, and collaborations drawing on in-field and remote sensing methods have created extensive new datasets that underpin knowledge exchange, training, advocacy and the creation of new toolkits to assess and mitigate threats to heritage. Co-production and responsiveness to local needs are fundamental to the group's research. The group connects communities with their living religious heritage, and work with disadvantaged communities in Europe and the global south, engaging them with the ‘uncomfortable heritage’ of their recent past. The group is particularly active in the protection of heritage from conflicts and natural disasters, and the meanings and values of cultural heritage.
