I am posting a link to an event which is being held in Hackney on Thursday 7th. September to celebrate the publication of a volume of essays about the life and work of the late David Lowenthal, which includes a short afterword I wrote about the influence of The Past is a Foreign Country on the V&A/RCA MA Course in the History of Design and in the heritage sector more widely in the 1980s, particularly through a seminar which David and Peter Burke ran at the Warburg Institute (Join us for the launch of David Lowenthal’s Archipelagic and Transatlantic Tickets, Thu 7 Sep 2023 at 19:00 | Eventbrite).

I hope that the event will be an opportunity to celebrate David’s life and work, as well as his academic writings, and that as many of you as possible will be able to come.
