Professor David Lowenthal FBA in conversation with Sir Simon Jenkins*

On *Wednesday, 1 June 2011 *as part of the British Academy Policy 
Centre?s ongoing work on cultural heritage, Professor *David Lowenthal*

cultural and natural heritage.

Professor Lowenthal will speak about the necessity of caring for all 
heritage. He traces a distinguished line of thought, arguing that 
consideration for our future rests on an understanding of and concern 
for the past. And to appreciate our past to its full extent, we must 
acknowledge that heritage is a living and flexible body that needs 
continuous revision and addition to remain healthy and vibrant.
