Spotlight On...

Professor David Lowenthal died peacefully at home in London on 15 September 2018. His critical eye, through which he looked at our present, will be painfully missed. Although we think of him as the father of Heritage Studies, he is not our reluctant heritage, he is more than that: David Lowenthal is our history. CHRC Graduate Member, Andrea Kocsis provides a personal reflection on the meaning of David Lowenthal’s work to her.
