Agriculture, Landscapes & Heritage
Geneva Heritage Lab
The Geneva Heritage Lab connects academics, professionals and associations working on a wide range of natural and cultural heritage issues. It offers a space and network for exchange from multiple perspectives. We are particularly keen to strengthen dialogue between local and international heritage-related institutions and researchers from the wider Geneva area and region
The Geneva Heritage Lab, hosted by the GEDT, offers an interdisciplinary space for heritage-related research, networking, and teaching. Current collaborative activities:
- Collaboration with Korean National Commission for UNESCO on Minority Social Justice Issues and their representation within Museums in Asia (Project MINJU)
- Collaboration with Coimbra group of universities to engage with the Coimbra Working Group
- Work with the University of Exeter on decolonial approaches and minority heritage.
- Collaboration with EPFL on heritage and creativity.
- Collaboration with Postdoctoral Researcher Neda Shafiei focusing on online narrative and inclusive urban heritage management
- Work with Research Interns: Sooyeon Park (South Korea), Jemy Anna Jacob (India)
