We are delighted to announce the funding of our SEA-CChange project: Socio-Ecological Archiving: Coastal Communities’ Heritage in times of climate change, part of the joint programming initiative of the Belmont forum concerning: Climate and Cultural Heritage: Collaborative research to address urgent challenges. We aim to investigate how coastal communities perceive climate change in relation to their cultural heritage. Situating (in)tangible cultural heritage in its socio-ecological, political and historical contexts, SEA-CCHange takes an inter and transdisciplinary approach to shed light on diverse narratives of cultural heritage in times of climate change.
This research is an international and transdisciplinary endeavour between several academic and societal partners.
Our consortium is female-led with Annisa Triyanti (Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University) at the helm, supported by co-PIs: Cathy Daly (Carrig Conservation International Ltd/ University of Lincoln) & Clare Fitzsimmons (Newcastle University).
The consortium is a collaboration between partners and will encompass case studies in the Netherlands, Indonesia, Ireland, the Caribbean and the UK. Thanks to all the members of the consortium:
