PhD Workshop: Heritage Hybridisation: Concepts, Scales & Spaces

This PhD Workshop aims to bring together PhD students and researchers from all Una Europa universities, offering PhD students insights from different schools of thought. The concept of heritage hybridisation enables us to focus on the interconnection of different domains, period and actors that jointly shape our cultural heritage. The workshop will address the concept from five angles:

1. Political, transnational and community negotiations and heritage hybridisation
2. Hybridisations of heritage narratives
3. Heritage(s) between high and popular culture
4. Heritage rescaling and hybridisations
5. Hybridisation of heritage concepts and doctrines

The 3-day workshop will consist of keynotes, roundtables, PhD presentations, virtual visits and community-building elements. In line with the Una Europa spirit of openness, most of the lectures and roundtables are open for everyone interested via Facebook streaming:
