The symposium will feature expert talks and panel discussions, where speakers from practice, policy and research domains will debate ideas and share current preoccupations with ‘difficult’ heritage and conservation.
Keynotes and panellists will explore ‘toxic materials’ in historic contexts, ‘toxic policies’ and planning regimes, and the remediation of ‘toxic environments’. Case studies will range from the conservation of the very local to international heritage sites that have been catalysts for destruction.
Session One: Toxic Materials
Session Two: Toxic Environments
