Events
Groundbreakers | Mapping the history of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Join archaeologist Dr Jonny Gardner, ethnographer Professor Phil Cohen and public historian Dr Toby Butler who will be discussing five years of research and activities that went into the process of creating a new online map and guidebook to the history of the Park site (www.livingmaps.org/groundbreakers).
How did these different disciplines and perspectives engage with the key themes of the Guide, for example in understanding material culture, the relationship between the human and non-human worlds and the multiple temporalities which inform the site’s history and geography. Sponsored by the Raphael Samuel History Centre.
