We are pleased to announce the Trinity Term 2022 Heritage Pathway Field Trip.
During the first part of this Heritage Pathway field trip, we will meet at the Sheldonian Theatre to test the 'Lab In Your Pocket' app devised by Oxford's Dr Katrin Wilhelm and Sterling MacKinnon. Katrin and Sterling will introduce their work within the School of Geography and the Environment and will encourage us explore first-hand citizen science in a public heritage context.
During the second part of the study visit, we will travel to Kelmscott Manor which has recently re-opened after an extensive £6m renovation project. Kelmscott was the country retreat and 'heaven on earth' of William Morris, pioneering designer, author, architectural conservationist and social reformer, widely regarded as the father of the arts and crafts movement. Here we will consider the challenges and opportunities offered by independent heritage organisations within an increasingly commercialised sector.
PLEASE NOTE: this trip involves a substantial amount of physical activity. If you have mobility issues or are a wheelchair user, please email training@humanities.ox.ac.uk so we can ensure your needs are fully accommodated. Attendees are required to participate in both parts of the day. Please only book if you can commit to attending the full day, 10.30am-5pm.
