“…Recently, the World Heritage Committee has engaged in reflection about whether places associated with memories of recent conflicts should be considered for the World Heritage List (UNESCO, 2022b). At its most extreme, heritage, as a signifier and conveyer of identity, can be a target of larger conflicts as seen in the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas (Manhart, 2016) and the destruction of World Heritage properties by ISIS in several countries. The inscription of the "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution" also demonstrated that the narratives accompanying international heritage designation can create conflicts between states (Nakano, 2021).…”

PurposeThere is evidence of emerging silos separating research and practices in heritage. Creating spaces where researchers and practitioners collaborate and learn from their exchanges is therefore needed. This premise was the foundation of the pilot phase for the World Heritage Leadership Heritage Place Lab that allowed eight teams from different geocultural contexts to come together to develop research agendas. This paper provides observations about how these agendas relate to key strands in critical heritage research globally. It complements the other papers in this Special Issue that describe the case studies in detail.Design/methodology/approachA keywords approach has been used to identify areas where shared research agendas can advance both heritage practices and academic interest in the field of heritage studies. This was based on the observations made by the author during the pilot phase of the Heritage Place Lab and the research agendas produced by the research-practice teams. The approach is exploratory and experimental, inviting other contributions.FindingsTwenty keywords are identified and explored via both academic literature and the research priorities identified by the research-practice teams that participated in the pilot.Originality/valueA keywords approach is relatively untested in the field of heritage studies. Recognizing that commonly-used terms (or words) have fluid meanings across disciplines and practices potentially opens new dimensions to the dialogue between heritage practitioners and researchers.
