Methods and Methodologies in Heritage Studies
Rachel King (Editor), Trinidad Rico (Editor)
Methods and Methodologies in Heritage Studies offers succinct, easily accessible analyses of the disciplinary debates, intellectual legacies and practical innovations that have led to understandings of heritage value today.
Through a diverse collection of expert voices, this volume invites readers to embark on their own journeys through appropriate methodologies for research and public engagement. Readers can draw on analyses of key problem areas and argumentative interventions to create a roadmap for the many disciplinary approaches that converge on heritage studies.
Oriented specifically towards learning and teaching heritage across archaeology, anthropology, history and geography, this textbook is designed to support critical, ethical heritage students, researchers and practitioners.
Praise for Methods and Methodologies in Heritage Studies
‘This excellent volume fills a substantial gap for those looking for a single course book with which to teach a range of interdisciplinary methods to both undergraduate and postgraduate heritage studies students and should be seen as the “go to” on heritage research methodologies for students, teachers and professionals alike. It will have a significant impact in shaping the field of critical heritage studies for years to come.’
Rodney Harrison, Professor of Heritage Studies, UCL
‘This textbook gathers a group of experienced specialists to discuss transformations of the field over time and present the latest trends and innovative debates, based on their own experiences in various international contexts. This volume will be of great interest for teachers, students and for the general public.’ Andrés Zarankin, Professor of Archaeology, Federal University of Minas Gerais
