The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Creative Practice explores the role of creativity as a tool for critical engagement with heritage. It explores how heritage and creative practice intersect, in research, in practice and in a transnational context.

Impromptu book signing at @Foyles #OurIslandStories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain. The book contains maps & it would amazing to see photos of yourselves doing any of the walks.

[School of Museum Studies @LeicsMusStud]

This evening the exhibition 'Land Marks' opens at the School of Museum Studies. Organised by MA Art Museum and Gallery students, it explores our relationship to the natural environment through a curated collection of landscape art from the 1960s to today. https://t.co/6G7bK4crVR

[Corinne Fowler @corinne_fowler]

#OurIslandStories printed today! Made me reflect on why I wanted to write this book in these fraught times. Taking country walks together are a great way to understand how colonial activity & imperial wealth shaped our countryside.

You can pre-order @Waterstones
@Foyles or your local independent bookshop.
