Participates in 2 items

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Gothenburg, Department of Conservation (UGOT-C), since long involved in the development of the bachelor’s and master’s programs at UGOT-C as well as lecturer at a number of Regional Restoration Camps in the western Balkans organized by Cultural Heritage without Borders. My professional experience includes position as heritage official at Forsvik industrial heritage site in 2004-09 responsible for regional strategies for industrial heritage in West Sweden. In 2009 I was commissioned moderator for the UGOT initiative on Heritage Studies as part of strengthening cross-disciplinary research, contributing to the establishment of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies in 2012. During these years, I was part of a number of activities focusing on the former Union Carbide facility in Bhopal, India. Between 2012 and 2018 I was Head of department (UGOT-C), and from August 2018 to February 2019 I did a sabbatical in Tirana, Albania, cooperating with Cultural Heritage without Borders Albania, and the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies, University of Tirana. Presently I am the ICOMOS lead scientist in the Charter Alliance project (https://charter-alliance.eu/) co-heading WP2 together with E.C.C.O.
