THE PAST FOR THE PRESENT AND THE
FUTURE: <br>
Professor David Lowenthal FBA in
conversation with Sir Simon Jenkins</font></strong><font

<br>
On <strong>Wednesday, 1 June 2011 </strong>as
part of the British Academy Policy
Centre’s ongoing work on cultural
heritage, Professor <strong>David
Lowenthal</strong> will be in
discussion with Sir <strong>Simon
Jenkins</strong> about the value of
our cultural and natural heritage.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The event, held at <strong>10-11
Carlton House Terrace</strong>, runs
from <strong>18.00 to 19.15</strong>
and is followed by a drinks reception.
It is free to attend and all are
welcome, but registration is required.<strong>
