2.20pm | Keynote: ‘Impacts and ethics in digital cultural heritage research’
Dr Jenny Kidd, Cariff School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies (University of Cardiff) This presentation will focus on the intersections between ethics and impact in digital cultural heritage research. It asks how we can legitimately talk about impact in digital cultural heritage research, and whether there is an ethical dimension to that question that we should be unpacking. Drawing on recent research with Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales it will explore what impact can look like in practice; messy, difficult to grasp and itself a surprising catalyst.
Jenny’s latest book is Museums in the New Mediascape. Edited books include Performing Heritage and Challenging History in the Museum. |
