Dear University of Reading community,
For the July session of the “My Climate Risk Interdisciplinary Learning Group” (MCRILG), we are delighted to be joined by Dr Hannah Fluck, Senior National Archaeologist at the National Trust.
Dr Fluck is an archaeologist, and her research is focusing on the relationship between the historic environment and archaeology, in particular about peatland restoration, tree planting and river management.
Dr Fluck will talk about her experiences of trying to get greater integration of cultural heritage not environmental policy and practice. The knowledge and expertise of cultural heritage have been absent from responses to the environmental crises, often cultural heritage is included as an afterthought, or viewed as an additional consideration once the core environmental matters have been addressed. In fact, cultural heritage is integral to not only our understanding of environmental crises, but to our responses.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday 14th July at 1pm GMT to learn more about this! The link to the Zoom session is on the Walker Institute March MCRILG session webpage. A calendar invitation will also be sent to you on Friday 11th July ONLY if you have joined our MCRILG.
You can find the highlights from our June MCRILG discussion with Will Shields on our webpage.
Having completed a year of MCRILG sessions we would love your feedback. We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes and complete the feedback form: https://forms.office.com/e/Scc8j5YRcW
