Publication Series "Heritage Studies", DeGruyter Publishing House
The Heritage Studies discourse was initiated by the UNESCO Chair in Heritage Studies in the process of developing the concept of the International Graduate School: Heritage Studies at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg in 2010. The discourse was broadened with regards to the different facets of heritage such as cultural and natural heritage, intangible heritage and documentary heritage.
One of the very important goals of this specific discourse of Heritage Studies is to discuss the enormous diversity of paradigms, scientific terms, and constructions. This new publication series published by DeGruyter Publishing House comprises the major outcomes that contain contributions from junior scholars, experienced researchers and heritage professionals.
