“…Decisions made about what to protect have a profound role in shaping historical memory (Lowenthal 1985), in normalizing certain forms of sociopolitical organizations (Borck 2018), and in justifying contemporary access or ownership (Flexner 2014), all of which have profound implications for future societies (e.g., Harrison et al 2020; Holtorf 2020; Holtorf and Högberg 2020). In this context, the omission of some places is an act of erasure, one that can have dire consequences for minority communities.…”

“…But how effective are these systems of criteria in creating representative histories? Recent scholarly dialogue actively reconsiders heritage praxis, especially by questioning the universal applicability of existing managerial systems and their role in shaping the future (e.g., Borck 2018; Harrison et al 2020; Holtorf and Högberg 2020). Internationally, the UNESCO World Heritage List has been a focal point for evaluating the success of heritage protection efforts, and like the National Register of Historic Places (hereafter, NRHP or National Register), it has been critiqued for its Eurocentric selection criteria, its neglect of intangible forms of cultural heritage, and its lack of input from descendant or local communities (Meskell 2018).…”

“This Place Belongs to Us”: Historic Contexts as a Mechanism for Multivocality in the National Register

Since the creation of the National Register of Historic Places, determining eligibility for listing on it has become the fundamental process driving archaeology in the United States. This process affects how archaeological sites are identified, recorded, evaluated, and ultimately how they are protected. Yet less than 6% of properties on the National Register are archaeological sites. Although scholars often lament the rigidity of the National Register and its eligibility criteria, notable revisions in National Park Service guidance pave the way for important changes. One of the National Register's most pervasive and fundamental concepts—the historic context—remains deeply undertheorized when compared to more familiar terms like “significance” and “integrity.” In this article, we argue that archaeologists are well positioned to reinvigorate the National Register by using historic contexts as a mechanism for recognizing layered relationships to places. Using an example from the multivocal nomination of the Inscription Rock Archaeological District as a case study, we argue that the oft-neglected concept of the historic context can be used to commemorate multivocality, moving from one national history to the production of multivocal national histories.

“…This supported a wider democratisation of heritage that was already underway, and in which the heritage of numerous diverse groups and interests was accorded greater recognition, including from national and international organisations, such as World Heritage lists (Brumann 2021;Meskell 2018;Salemink 2021). Casting cultural diversity and its manifestation as heritage as analogous to biodiversity also further embedded an idea of cultural diversity and heritage as being 'at risk' and thus as in need of initiatives to 'save' or 'preserve' it Harrison et al 2020).…”

Doing Diversity in Museums and Heritage

Diversity' is undoubtedly a key word in contemporary museum and heritage debates and practice. Numerous initiatives and developments to promote, celebrate, identify, manage, preserve and, sometimes, to contest, diversity are underway. Yet what is meant by 'diversity' in these many instances-and what it is hoped it will achieve-is itself varied. So too for terms with which it is entangled or that operate as apparent or near synonyms, such as 'variety', 'plurality' and 'difference', and the German 'Vielfalt', 'Diversität', 'Verschiedenheit', 'Mannigfaltigkeit', 'Pluralität' and 'Differenz'. This book brings together studies of the lives and workings of such terms within recent and ongoing museum and heritage contexts in Berlin. While the question of which sität zu Berlin, the Museum für Naturkunde and the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation for the support. I thank all members of CARMAH (the Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage) and especially the members of the Making Differences project for sharing reading suggestions and discussing ideas over these last years. The following deserve particular thanks for comments on this text:

“…As various academics point out, the time is right to realign this global heritage agenda on the basis of sustainable development and shared conservation/preservation goals (Harrison et al , 2020). As Larsen and Wijesuriya see it, we have a “major opportunity to reassert the contribution of world heritage to the effective and equitable protection of cultural and biological diversity” (Larsen and Wijesuriya, 2017).…”

Greening the past: putting history in its place at the ecological university

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to think through the value of History as a way of interrogating ideas around environmental change as well as bridging the gap between definitions of natural and cultural heritage. In terms of the sustainability in higher education imperative, it argues that youth climate change movements and endeavours to diversify curriculum content make this a moment of critical mass to push forward with new historical programmes that embed environmental themes in a wider intellectual pedagogy. Design/methodology/approach This paper looks to combine an urgent need to engage with environmental sustainability with progressive endeavours at decolonising the curriculum to explore how humanities (and History, in particular) can be brought into the service of the ecological university. Findings Thereafter, it looks specifically at “green heritage” in the city as a useful example in which the greening agenda can be used to re-contextualise historical approaches, encourage useful conversations around the role of History as a conservation and heritage management tool and build active partnerships with local stakeholder groups. Originality/value The originality of this approach lies in thinking both of content and intellectual practice, pedagogy as content and behaviour and in reconstructing the terrain of a theme such as heritage to think through opportunities for sustainability in education.
