Spotted in a neighborhood in Doha this morning: rooftop antennas beautified with a symbol of local identity and hospitality (a dallah, the traditional Arab coffee pot).

Drawing on insights from the #everydayheritage project, she discussed the scarcity paradigm of heritage and the alternative economies of heritage that are possible when heritage is seen as an abundant part of everyday life.

The King’s Head, a Grade II listed 16th-century pub, is a gem in #Suffolk’s heritage. Its timber-framed structure and thatched roof evoke its roots as a farmhouse before its conversion into a public house long before the 1830 Beer Act.

Of all the lovely things i experienced in Australia this week at #everydayheritage the most nourishing was spending quality time with good people. Time is often our most valuable, and hard to locate, asset. Putting aside the week for a project finale was the best decision i’ve made in a while x
British soldiers, The Maze prison (Long Kesh) 1978.
One of the lessons I've learned this week is that when it comes to difficult pasts, sometimes it takes time for people to talk. I spoke to my dad yesterday about his time working at the infamous Maze prison in 1978. He started sending notes and pictures. This is him (far left). #everydayheritage

It has been a privilege to be hosted on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, and to hear from @lauramca.bsky.social and Timo Ylimaunu. Thanks Steve Brown @tracyireland.bsky.social Sharpay Wu @naomijayne.bsky.social for organising! @everydayheritage.bsky.social
Post conference today my daughter decided to steal my name tag and deliver a 'lecture' on the Kraken to anyone who would listen. Sort of like me and Scottish history. Watch out academia 😂 #everydayheritage
My Murdoch corridor-mate Glen Stasiuk is playing his Wadjemup Survivors film as response to Ylimauni's paper, drawing links between experiences of longing and loss when people are separated from their homeland, culture and language #EverydayHeritage

When HPB was first put on the National Trust list, the focus was on aesthetics of 'fine, old, colonial' buildings, not on the lives lives inside, the Country it was on, or whose Country the materials came from #EverydayHeritage
Almost ready to go with the 2024 #EverydayHeritage symposium at UWA
