'Valuing the Historic Environment' is a new, cross disciplinary research
cluster for the discussion of frameworks of value in relation to the
preservation of historic environments. The cluster will meet at three
one day colloquia to take place between January and July 2007 and on an
online discussion board, available from the cluster www
http://www.le.ac.uk/ms/contactus/valhistenvir.html. Detailed notes
documenting the discussion at each colloquium will also be available
from the cluster www. We aim for the activities of this cluster to lead
to further research connections, collaborations, opportunities and
outputs, with the potential to influence academic debate and policy
formulation.

The second colloquium associated with this cluster takes place on the
20th April 2007. The main focus of the colloquium is 'Heritage, Housing
and Home'.

There are a limited number of places available, there is no cost to
attend but we are not normally able to pay expenses. It would be useful
if expressions of interest in attending could briefly describe how the
persons experience will enable them to make a significant contribution
to debate in the colloquia. The closing date for expressions of interest
in attendance for Colloquium 2 is 23/03/07.

Colloquia details are as follows:
20th April 2007- Heritage, Housing and Home

Keynotes: Professor Peter Malpass, School of Housing & Urban Studies:
'Your house, my home, whose heritage?'

Other Speakers: John Pendlebury, Tim Townshend and Rose Gilroy: 'Social
