The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Gender offers an exceptional range of international contributions that interrogate and analyse the interactions within - and between - heritage and gender.
Taking an intersectional and global approach, the Handbook opens up space for a more critical and situated consideration of how gender comes into contact with heritage as a concept and practice. The volume considers heritage in the broadest sense: as a concept, performance, and materialisation. The contributions also consider how heritage impacts identity, power, people, values, politics, and ethics as well as processes and sites across material culture, nature, and intangible practices. The volume and its contributions are inclusive of cisgender, trans, non-binary, agender, and intersex identities. Reflecting the multidisciplinary and transnational voices of its authors, the collection challenges readers to consider what a focused analysis of heritage and gender can offer heritage studies as an evolving discipline and field of study.
The Routledge Handbook of Heritage and Gender will be of interest to academics and students working in Heritage Studies, Museum Studies, Art History, History, Anthropology, Gender and Women’s Studies, and International Development.
Jenna C. Ashton is a Senior Lecturer in Heritage Studies, with a background in artmaking and writing, exhibition curation, creative producing, public engagement, and arts-education. Her multi-method and interdisciplinary research focuses on community-based practices, knowledges, economies, and critical literacies (also sometimes described as “living heritage” or “intangible cultural heritage”). Jenna’s work sits across feminist environmental humanities and critical heritage studies. Previous edited collections include Feminism and Museums Vol 1: Intervention, Disruption and Change (2017), Feminism and Museums Vol 2: Intervention, Disruption and Change (2018), and Anonymous Was a Woman: A Museums and Feminism Reader (2020). Jenna is also the founder and Creative Director of the arts and heritage organisation Digital Women’s Archive North (DWAN, 2015–), and creator of the 2017 manifesto, The Feminists Are Cackling in the Archive: A Manifesto for Feminist Archiving (or disruption).
