Dacia Viejo-Rose

Director of the Cambridge Heritage Research Centre, which she co-founded with the MPhil in Heritage Studies. After studying Political Science, she worked at UNESCO (Paris, 2000-2002) where she first became interested in the relationship between cultural heritage and violence. Her work focuses on investigating how cultural heritage can be a vector of violence, both as a target and instrument, and a tool for reparations for cultural violence. Her books include Reconstructing Spain: Cultural Heritage and Memory after Civil War (Sussex Academic Press, 2013) and the co-edited volumes War and Cultural Heritage (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and Memorials in the Aftermath of War (Palgrave 2019).
