[Histport] Call for Panels: Heritage for a Common Future/Future(s) for a Common Heritage

[Inês Torres <inestorres@fcsh.unl.pt>]

Dear colleagues,

The Centre for the Humanities (CHAM) of NOVA University Lisbon and the University of the Azores invite the academic community to join the VI CHAM International Conference: Heritage for a Common Future / Future(s) for a Common Heritage, which will be held in Lisbon from 12-15 July 2023. The Call for Panels is open from 5 December 2022 to 13 January 2023.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the political and social events that marked the past few years have prompted new epistemological debates and questions about established heritage strategies and policies, which aim to achieve a shared global heritage aligned with the sustainable development goals of the UN 2030 agenda.

The VI CHAM International Conference wants to provide the space for scholars to reflect together, to contribute to the creation of proposals that invite us to consider alternative scenarios, and to create new visions and futures for a common heritage.

We welcome contributions for panels, papers and posters on ongoing academic research, fieldwork, and community-based projects, related, but not limited, to the following themes:

- Patrimonialization/Heritagization; Challenges, Discourses and Heritage Policies
- Heritage practices; Heritage management; Conservation, restoration and sustainability
- Destroyed heritage and vulnerable heritage; Heritage actors and stakeholders
- Mediation and management of publics; Heritage communication
- Accessibility (marginalized publics, subordination of heritage; heritage in the diaspora)
- Heritage and identities; Re-signification, revisionism and postcolonial discourses; Banalization of heritage
- Epistemological and research challenges in heritage; Networks of heritage researchers and research; citizen science
- Heritage training/skills profile; interdisciplinarities and challenges to academic and vocational education
- New heritage and new forms of curatorship
- Cultural tourism and heritage
- National and international strategic challenges to the UN SDG; Digital transition; Citizen participation
- Debates in heritage related research: Concepts in transformation (museums, archives, libraries); Climate and environmental challenges

We are currently accepting panel proposals. All proposals should be in English and must include the following information:
