The Professorship and its team

As part of its interdisciplinary research and academic teaching, the professorship's working group focuses on three major areas:

  • UNESCO conventions on cultural heritage and their implementation, world cultural heritage, intangible cultural heritage. Monument preservation and site management
  • Museums, exhibitions, and provenance research
  • Cultural governance and cultural policies

The team examines these areas using different approaches from the social and political sciences and cultural studies, including critical heritage studies.
