To mark the launch of the new edited volume, 'Sustaining Support for Intangible Cultural Heritage', the CHRC are hosting a panel discussion with two of the book's editors. Mariana Pinto Leitao Pereria and Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya, will join us to discuss the themes arising from the contributions to this volume and what they might signal for the future of Intangible Cultural Heritage research.
Sustaining Support for Intangible Cultural Heritage is framed within the Covid-19 pandemic and addresses the vulnerability and fragility of sustaining heritage in times of prolonged shock. The book offers insights into the manifold ways heritage facilitators and practitioners deal and safeguard intangible heritage locally; and showcases the implications of ecological changes in relation to livelihoods, to the practice of heritage and education on sustainability.
Given the growing interest in pedagogical material for heritage studies, the book will be an invaluable resource for students, lecturers and researchers viewing the intersections of intangible cultural heritage and sustainable development. Heritage professionals searching for practical approaches to build resilient heritage, for risk mitigation and capacity building will also find this book a useful resource.
The event will be held in hybrid format with In-person attendance in the South Lecture Room, Department of Archaeology open to all, as it online participation.
