Gender and Heritage brings together a group of international
scholars to examine the performance, place and politics of gender
within heritage. Through a series of case studies, models and
assessments, the significance of understanding and working with
concepts of gender is demonstrated as a dynamic and reforming
agenda. Demonstrating that gender has become an increasingly
important area for heritage scholarship, the collection argues that
it should also be recognised as a central structuring device within
society and the location where a critical heritage studies can
emerge. Drawing on contributions from around the world, this edited
collection provides a range of innovative approaches to using
gender as a mode of enquiry. From the politics of museum displays,
the exploration of pedagogy, the role of local initiatives and the
legal frameworks that structure representation, the volume's
diversity and objectives represent a challenge for students,
academics and professionals to rethink gender. Rather than
featuring gender as an addition to wider discussions of heritage,
this volume makes gender the focus of concern as a means of
building a new agenda within the field. This volume, which
addresses how we engage with gender and heritage in both practice
and theory, is essential reading for scholars at all levels and
should also serve as a useful guide for practitioners.
