Hosted by the University of Padua, this Summer School entittled “Dissonant Narratives: Dealing with European Universities’ Difficult Heritage” will bring together students, academics, and cultural heritage professionals from across Europe to reflect on the challenging legacy of European universities’ pasts.
The programme aims to equip participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to critically engage with dissonant heritage/narratives tied to uncomfortable or controversial pasts.
Through lectures from experts such as Giuliana Tomasella and David Martín López, and guided tours of significant sites, like Palazzo Bo and the Museo della Natura e dell’Uomo, attendees can explore how universities grapple with complex legacies from colonialism to authoritarian regimes.
Taking place from 16 to 20 September 2024.
