UCL ISH Guest Lecture Programme 2019/2020

About the ISH Guest Lecture Series

The ISH guest lectures are free and open to everyone; we particularly encourage our external partners, friends, alumni, Master’s and doctoral students and staff to attend, as well as colleagues from across The Bartlett Faculty and UCL. Every perspective and unique insight on the challenges facing heritage and heritage policy are hugely valuable to our audience.

This year the Institute will host talks on imaging, Stonehenge, poetry, data, risk, policy, and the natural world. Issues that have been covered in the past include heritage leadership, governance and policy, as well as conservation practice within the context of sustainable development.
