The seminar in Material Culture and the Historic Built Environment provides a unique forum whereby academics, museum and heritage professionals and community groups interested in built heritage and material culture will come together to discuss current research and issues in the field and sector. By conceiving of Oxford’s material and built heritage community in the broadest sense, the seminar will seek to draw on the city’s strong yet disparate expertise in these areas to share and build knowledge across boundaries.
