US: Community Heritage at the University of Sheffield

该奖项将支持开放日、网站、宣传材料和资金，以便能够举行后续会议和讲习班。该项目的目标将是在谢菲尔德大学的研究人员与研究其遗产的社区之间建立持久和富有成效的合作关系，特别是在传统上不参与遗产研究的地区和社会团体。这将符合谢菲尔德大学的战略重点，即“展示学生团体，学术部门，我们城市和地区的人们以及我们更广泛的社会之间更紧密的联系”，以及“将我们的研究转化为实际应用，丰富谢菲尔德和该地区的文化和经济。具体而言，目标是促进研究人员和社区团体之间的新伙伴关系，鼓励研究人员和社区团体之间的对话，并确保有兴趣申请HLF小额赠款的社区团体有机会与研究人员见面。研究人员在广泛的学科领域拥有专业知识，从文化史到人口遗传学，从实验考古学到方言研究。虽然他们在学术生涯中处于不同的阶段，但他们都有公众参与的经验，其中许多人曾与传统上没有参与遗产项目的社区合作。一个活动将由谢菲尔德大学主办，另一个将在场外举行。开放日将提供全体会议和小组讨论，侧重于研究主题和技术的平行研讨会，以及非正式网络的展览区，海报和数字展示将展示正在进行的和最近的项目。我们会邀请外间机构展出其资源及服务。第二个开放日将包括参加实践研讨会的机会：例如，记录口述历史，使用视觉文化，考古物理学，了解建筑物和实验金属加工。开放日将通过电子邮件分发名单，通过我们现有的合作伙伴关系网络，并通过向我们地区内的社区团体发送传单进行宣传。将建立一个项目网站。这将包括一个研究人员目录，他们的专业知识和他们的项目链接，以及一个博客，twitter提要和Facebook组的链接。该网站将提供多媒体资源，包括工作人员谈论其研究的短播客，以及开放日正式发言的海报、展示片和录像。将有一个响应基金，以支持研究人员和社区团体的旅行和生活，以满足，发展他们的项目想法，并计划未来的合作研究。该网站将作为谢菲尔德大学社区遗产研究的中心进行长期维护，展示项目，并促进新的伙伴关系。

The award will support open days, a website, publicity materials, and funds to enable follow-up meetings and workshops. The objective of the project will be to develop lasting and fruitful collaborations between researchers in the University of Sheffield and communities researching their heritage, particularly in areas and with social groups that have not traditionally been involved in heritage research. This will meet the University of Sheffield's strategic priorities of 'demonstrating a closer engagement between the student body, academic departments, the people in our city and region, and our wider society,' and 'translating our research into practical applications that enrich the culture and economy of Sheffield and the region.' Specifically, the objectives are to stimulate new partnerships between researchers and community groups, encourage dialogue between researchers and community groups, and ensure that community groups interested in applying for HLF small grants have the opportunity to meet researchers. The researchers have expertise in a wide range of subjects, from cultural history to population genetics, and experimental archaeology to dialect studies. Although at varying stages in their academic careers, they all have experience of public engagement and many have worked with communities who are not traditionally represented in heritage projects.There will be two open days, held in May and June 2012. One event will be hosted by the University of Sheffield and the other will be held offsite. The open days will offer a mix of plenary talks and panels, parallel workshops focussing on research themes and techniques, and an exhibition area for informal networking and where posters and digital showreels will showcase ongoing and recent projects. External organisations will be invited to bring displays highlighting their resources and services. The second open day will include opportunities to participate in hands-on workshops: for example, recording oral histories, using visual culture, archaeological geophysics, understanding buildings, and experimental metalworking. The open days will be advertised using email distribution lists, through our network of existing partnerships, and by sending leaflets to community groups within our region. A project website will be created. This will include a directory of researchers, their expertise and links to their projects, together with a blog, twitter feed, and a link to the Facebook group. The website will host multimedia resources, including short podcasts in which staff talk about their research, together with posters, showreels and videos of the formal presentations from the open days. There will be a responsive fund to support travel and subsistence for researchers and community groups to meet, develop their project ideas, and plan future collaborative research. The website will be maintained in the long-term as a hub for community heritage research at the University of Sheffield, showcasing projects, and as a catalyst for new partnerships.
