 In this workshop, students will learn how satellite technology is transforming the documentation of cultural heritage in contexts of armed conflict and genocide. The workshop will explore a range of case studies from around the world – from the Caucasus to China, from Syria to Ukraine – to learn how researchers acquire, organize, and assess satellite imagery, maps, and cultural heritage inventories, and how they disseminate findings of cultural erasure in different fora.
