In a series of interdisciplinary research projects and initiatives, we study the role, function and importance of cultural heritage in contemporary and historical contexts with the overall aim of developing a critical analytical understanding of the role of cultural heritage in society.

Research on heritage at the Division of Culture, Society, Design and Media has a broad focus, including the study of oral history, digitization, musealisation and education.
