One of the four main strands of research I pursue \u00a0is about digital cultural heritage engagement and learning, and lots has been happening!<\/p>\n

In London for the Critical Heritage Futures conference.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Artcasting project<\/a> continues to generate great speaking, writing and conversation opportunities – most recently at the AHRC and Association of Critical Heritage Studies’\u00a0Critical Approaches and New Directions conference<\/a> in London in early October. My colleague Michael Gallagher and I gave a talk about mobilities, mobile technologies and heritage futures<\/a>. Particular highlights for me from the event were Chris Whitehead<\/a>‘s keynote, and Hayden Lorimer’s fascinating overview of work at St Peter’s Seminary at Kilmahew.<\/a> It was also fantastic to see so many of the people I first met last year at the ACHS conference in Montreal, and to hear that Liz Stainforth is going to be spending a few months in Edinburgh as an IASH fellow<\/a> at the start of next year.<\/p>\n

Also re Artcasting, I’ve just finished and submitted a paper about hospitality and digital co-production; and the team recently reconvened with a number of others who have helped us a lot in thinking about Artcasting futures, to talk about a whole bunch of fascinating issues still to be explored. There is a summary of these on the Artcasting site blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond Artcasting and its ripples, London also allowed a bit of time for Koula Charitonos<\/a> and I to talk through some ideas – including to propose a symposium for next year’s ICLS conference<\/a> on museum visitor experiences in the digital age. We hope this will be able to come together!<\/p>\n

Here in Edinburgh, the new academic year has brought a number of new members to the Digital Cultural Heritage Research Network<\/a> – not least our new chair of digital cultural heritage, Melissa Terras<\/a>, who joined the University of Edinburgh this week. We’ve already tempted her to get involved with a couple of projects in development – it’s going to be great to have her here. Sian, Chris, James, Kirsty, Melissa and I hope to organise a few DCHRN events in the new year.<\/p>\n

Serendipitously, I’ve got the opportunity to supervise not one but two masters students this year who are exploring aspects of 3d printing, scanning\u00a0and visualisation in cultural heritage contexts – I look forward to learning lots from both of them about this topic.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, I’ll be in Manchester for the Researching Digital Cultural Heritage conference<\/a> on 30 November-1 December (sadly only for the second day) – the programme looks amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
