Heritage today is shaped by complex global dynamics that challenge conventional
understandings of heritage-making. Fundamental questions seek answers in new
contexts: What is preserved? Who decides its value? How is heritage reimagined
for the future?



In a roundtable discussion on 16 July 2025 (18:00-20:00, followed by a reception), inherit’s directors Eva Ehninger and Sharon Macdonald explore today’s most urgent challenges facing heritage and heritage studies. The conversation will engage international experts on inherit’s advisory board, sharing their perspectives from research in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The roundtable is organized by 'inherit. heritage in transformation', a BMFTR-funded Centre for Advanced Study at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, which deals with historical, present and future transformations in the field of heritage.


The event will take place in English. Online participation is possible via the event website.


Please register your attendance in person until 14 July at: info-inherit@hu-berlin.de
