Colonial Connections Workshop 1:  the Call to Action from the National Trust

Moot Court

** Please note: attendance at this event is restricted to National Trust curators and staff association with the GW4 group of universities (Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter) ***2020 will see the building of a new multi-disciplinary research network and funding of pilot projects, to address the colonial connections within the South West and Wales National Trust portfolio. Funded by the GW4 network of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter Universities and the National Trust, we are inviting interested scholars and practitioners to participate in this programme of work. We have two workshops planned for January and March to explore the meeting points between National Trust strategic research priorities and academic participants research interests. This initial workshop will launch the programme of work and set out the National Trust &quot;call to action&quot; to the GW4 community. We will hear about the National Trust&#x27;s strategies, approaches and challenges in relation to the theme of colonial connections, relations and legacies. Specific properties that are ready for interventions will be identified and opportunities to network, to locate allies and discuss decolonising agendas in relation to the National Trust will be given. This workshop is the first stage of building the network from which we hope new collaborations and ideas will emerge. A second workshop inviting members of the GW4 community to respond to this initial &quot;Call to Action&quot; will take place on Wednesday, 11th March 2020. This initiative is designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue between the National Trust and GW4 partner universities with the aim of establishing longer-term collaborative research and engagement projects and colleagues are therefore encouraged to attend both workshops.
