I Am a Tourist, Therefore I Have a Stake in Your Heritage | Andreas Pantazatos | TEDxLUISS

Through his personal experience as a tourist, Andreas Pantazatos, Co-Director of the Centre for Ethics of Cultural Heritage and professor at the Philosophy Department at Durham University, argues that tourists have an ethical responsibility towards heritage. In his fascinating Talk, he explains that, by sharing their experiences, tourists shape the meaning and the future of the heritage sites they visit and therefore become stewards of them.

His curiosity for how we deal with the past shapes his research and teaching interests. He is Co-Director of the Centre for the Ethics of Cultural Heritage and he teaches and researches normative and professional ethics at the Philosophy Department of Durham University, UK. His main interests are philosophy of cultural heritage and archaeology, ethics of stewardship, ethics of museum governance and trusteeship, epistemic injustice and cultural heritage. He shares his passion for these issues with his postgraduate students on the innovative module “Ethics of Cultural Heritage” that he designed a couple of years ago.
