“Sun, sea, sand? Motivations to visit Za’atari Refugee Camp”, Interpreting Ephemeral Heritage of the Displaced Communities: Case Study of Syrian Refugees in Jordan

This talk will interrogate outsiders’ motivations to visit a refugee camp in an attempt to understand the relationship between outsiders’ gaze and ephemeral heritage of the displaced communities, as well as comment on the ethical implications of these activities. As the first Place & Experience research group meeting for 2023/2024 Academic Year, this talk will be an opportunity to hear about existing research activities and build international links, as well as for the speakers to hear your input and expressions of interest.
