“How best to plan for disaster….” — 13 Theses for further discussion first presented as part of the session on Disaster-led Archaeology: Anticipations and Responses to Heritage-Impacting Catastrophes, held at the Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists, Barcelona, Spain, September 2018.

The theses are based on the following paper:

Holtorf, C. (2018) Embracing change: how cultural resilience is increased through cultural heritage. World Archaeology 50 (4), Open access: https://doi.org/10.1080/00438243.2018.1510340

“Cultural resilience, risk preparedness, post-disaster recovery and mutual understanding between people will be best enhanced by an increased ability to accept loss and transformation.”

Mottot för Europaåret för kulturarv 2018 är “Vårt kulturarv: där historien möter framtiden.” Men kulturarvssektorn är dåligt förberedd för framtiden, tycker Cornelius Holtorf and Anders Högberg i senaste numret av tidskriften Respons (nr. 4, 2018, 7-8). Open access 

We are proud to introduce Ulrika Söderström’s Licentiate Thesis: Contract Archaeology and Sustainable Development. Between Policy and Practice which was defended on 13 Sept 2018. The main aim of her research is to study how heritage and archaeological knowledge can be applied in practice to meet the aims of Agenda 2030, in particular goal no.11 Sustainable cities and communities.
