The Historic Environment as an agent of change in the climate emergency: a community centered approach.

The Early Career Research Fellowships in Cultural and Heritage Institutions are a pilot scheme run by the AHRC, where Fellows were embedded at Independent Research Organisations to carry out a two-year research project. This talk will provide an overview of Audrey’s Fellowship at Historic Environment Scotland, which is nearing completion. What where the objectives, methods, challenges and successes? How can these be carried into future policy and practice, both at HES and throughout the wider climate and heritage sectors?

And finally, what is the future for this research?

Chair: Lena Sideri, University of Stirling
