18th – 19th March 2020

Keynote speakers:

Laurie Rush (Cultural Resources Manager and Army Archaeologist stationed at Fort Drum)

Rob Hopkins (NYU, Philosophy)

Nancy Sherman (Georgetown, Philosophy)

The AHRC-funded Heritage in War Project, led by Helen Frowe and Derek Matravers, explores the moral value of cultural heritage and how we ought to incorporate this value into our accounts of the ethics of war, and how to deal with damage to heritage in the aftermath of conflict. The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from a wide range of fields, including (but not limited to) philosophy, international law, heritage studies, archaeology, and the military, to explore issues connected to the protection of heritage in war and conflict.

Registration for the conference covers lunches, coffee and refreshments throughout the event, as well as a drink reception on the 18th of March. There will also be an optional conference dinner. Those who wish to partake in the dinner can choose this option when registering for the event. Early bird registration is available until the 1th of February. After that the registration fee will increase by an additional £15.

The registration for the conference (including dinner) is now full. It is still possible to register for the conference (without dinner).
