Emerging Scholars Connect: Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives on Conservation and Community
Young people bring fresh ideas, creativity, and a strong sense of innovation to the preservation of the National Capital’s cultural legacy, ensuring it remains relevant and dynamic for future generations. Interdisciplinary perspectives, whether from History, Public History, Architecture, and other areas of research, can foster a robust connection between Ottawa’s past and its evolving identity. They help bridge the gap between traditional practices and modern values, promote sustainability and inclusivity, and ensure that conservation efforts reflect the diversity of the city’s population.
We are pleased to feature an Emerging Scholars Connect event bringing together students from both the University of Ottawa and Carleton University to highlight new perspectives on heritage and how young people are chronicling history and advocating for policies and practices that balance historical conservation with contemporary needs, interests and values, in many ways.
