My name is Björn Magnusson Staaf, and I am associate professor and senior lecturer in museology and heritage studies at Lund University, Sweden. In my previous research have worked with Cultural Resource Management Archaeology, the architectural history of South Sweden in the period from the industrialization and onwards, and with memory sociology in relation to heritage practices in Sweden and Turkey. I will be at the Technische Universität in Darmstadt in the period between April and June 2023 in order to study heritage organization and heritage management in Hessen. My aim of these studies is to make a comparison between German and Swedish heritage practices. The challenges that both Germany and Sweden face in regards to heritage work are similar, however, the differences in administrative organization create different conditions for these tasks in respective country.
