Abstract
Anna Karlstr�m�s article made me think of
the inaugural conference of the International
Association of Critical Heritage Studies held in
Gothenburg in June 2012. At the conference,
heritage scholars and graduate students
gathered from around the world�though
mainly from Britain, Australia, and Sweden�
to discuss key debates in the rapidly
developing, wide-ranging field of heritage.
The location, the University of Gothenburg,
was one of the most prominent sites for the
new research field of heritage, as a platform
for research and graduate education from
about the mid-2000s. The conference was
organized through Swedish, British, and
Australian international collaboration, with
participation by the International Journal of
Heritage Studies. The recent careers of two
of the main organizers�Laurajane Smith and
Rodney Harrison�had seen them circulate
between Australia and Britain, and in Smith�s
case, to Sweden as well.
