From 2 to 4 March 2015, ETIC members Ian Magedera and Iain Jackson were invited to take part in a workshop on Cultural Heritage and Rapid Urbanisation, co-organized in Delhi by the Research Councils UK India Office (RCUK-India), the AHRC and the Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR).
The event brought together 30 UK and Indian academics and curators from the British Library, cultural practitioners and civil servants in order to develop research priorities that are to help shape collaboration between the two countries in this domain. The active management seminar format of short position papers, taken up by breakout groups who then reported back, allowed this relatively large number of participants to both work with and get to know each other’s research over two intense days based at the Maiden’s heritage hotel in Delhi’s Civil Lines district.

AHRC Workshop on Cultural Heritage and Rapid Urbanisation in India

The AHRC, with the Indian Council for Historical Research and the British Library, invites expressions of interest to attend a workshop on cultural heritage and rapid urbanisation in India. The event will bring together academic experts from both countries to address an issue of growing importance as India seeks to preserve and position its rich cultural history within the context of an emerging urban landscape.

It will draw on a range of disciplinary perspectives including urban history, heritage, languages, the digital humanities and archaeology. The development of longer-term collaborations and impacts, including possible links to other Newton programmes, wider inter-disciplinary UK-India research forums and subsequent funding bids, is one of the key objectives of the workshop.
