Social values of National Trust for Scotland heritage places: towards an organisational approach
I am delighted to be working with colleagues at the University of Stirling and the National Trust for Scotland on a new project, titled ‘Social values of National Trust for Scotland heritage places: towards an organisational approach’. This three-year project (2023-2026) builds on from my doctoral research and will further develop our understanding of the role participatory methods play in assessing the social values of the historic environment. The collaborative research will involve several case studies of Trust properties, providing an opportunity to look at places associated with both natural and cultural heritage. In the wider institutional context, we will explore how knowledge of social values is generated and put to work within organisational policies and practices. The project is led by Prof. Siân Jones and myself, as Research Fellow, working closely with colleagues from the Trust.
Further details and updates about this project are available on the project website.
This research has been funded by the National Trust for Scotland and the project forms part of a wider partnership between the Trust and the University of Stirling.
