Defying Convention: Devising New Approaches to Heritage Values in Valletta, Malta.

专注于瓦莱塔（马耳他），联合国教科文组织世界遗产，这个博士将探讨传统的遗产价值和意义可能带来的限制。这些往往僵化的定义，加上发展和旅游业的压力，导致遗产景观与社区的大部分地区脱节。通过对具体地点的案例研究，并与马耳他遗产一起工作，我将致力于证明，通过探索这些遗产地的当代历史及其对生活社区的持续和不断发展的意义，可以成功地对这些授权的叙述进行反映射

Focusing on Valletta (Malta), a UNESCO world heritage site, this PhD will explore the limitations that conventional heritage values and significance can entail. These often-rigid definitions, in conjunction with the pressures of development and tourism, contribute to a heritage landscape that is exclusive and disconnected from much of the community. Using site-specific case studies, and working alongside Heritage Malta, I will aim to demonstrate that these authorised narratives can be successfully counter-mapped by exploring the contemporary histories of these heritage places and their continued and evolving significance to living communities
