Appropriated Heritage?: Access Campaigns, Trespass, and Local Rights in Early-twentieth Century Upland England and Austria

Ben Anderson is a Senior Lecturer in Environmental History at Keele University, and author of Cities, Mountains and Being Modern in Fin-de-siècle England and Germany (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020). He researches the intersections of modern identities with rural places over roughly the last century, from mountaineering and walking to post-war energy infrastructures, twenty-first century industrial heritage and cultures of ultraviolet light. He is currently working on how co-creative approaches to memory can offer more holistic paths to decommission the vast carbon infrastructures of the twentieth century.
