Lecture 17 - Anita Quye

Creating constructive pathways to aid ethical sampling decisions in scientific research for cultural heritage

We are pleased to be joined in this series by the Icon Heritage Science Group.

Anita Quye, Senior Lecturer, University of Glasgow

Overview

In January 2019 the Icon Heritage Science Group launched new boundary-pushing ethical sampling guidance for decision-making when removing and using material from heritage objects and sites for scientific research. Underpinned by multiple perspectives and shared understanding, this guidance offers a constructive pathway from initial sampling thoughts to project end and beyond, developed from extensive national and international consultations with a range of interested parties. In this webinar, Anita takes us through the guidance and shows how it can be put into practice through personal case studies where constructive ethical thinking and discussions have helped navigate crossroads in sampling decisions.
