PhD Workshop - Digital Cultural Heritage

Digital Cultural Heritage: Mobilities, Mutuality and Heritage Futures invites participants with a diverse range of expertise and interests, both topical and methodological, to consider how the digital (as broadly understood) intersects with, poses, and can potentially address some of the biggest challenges and ideas in cultural heritage today.

These major themes include:

• The intersections between digital practices and the cultural heritages of increasingly mobile people and communities.
• Public engagement with digitised heritage; and how heritage organisations use the digital to engage with publics and communities.
• The digital preservation and (re)production of objects, sites, texts, practices, tangible and intangible heritages.
• The heritage of the digital and the mediated themselves; and the ways in which this heritage is preserved and produced, engages people, and becomes the heritage of a mobile, migrant world.
• Constructions of heritage in digital media genres - who debates, discusses and speaks for cultural heritage, and how?

By participating in this workshop, you will join a community of critical and ambitious thinkers engaging with the key questions that will shape (digital) heritage in the coming years and decades. In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop skills in and experiment with digital tools to engage, build and communicate with communities around your research topic or methodology.

The third Cultural Heritage PhD Workshop is one of the “Joint Innovative Formats” foreseen by Una Europa’s 1Europe project. Its goal is to experiment with innovative approaches to doctoral education and to contribute to our Joint Doctorate in Cultural Heritage offered by the Una Europa Universities, currently open for recruitment.
