Abstract

This chapter is a synthesis of the methodological reflections from the contributing authors of this volume, Theorizing Heritage Through Resistance. These reflections, edited and categorized for clarity, aimed to be a resource for other scholars and students working in the heritage studies exploring resistance as a field of enquiry. Chapters in this volume discuss epistemological arguments about how to comprehend the social as well as specific research techniques and practices to capture the intersection of heritage with resistance. In rethinking heritage methodologies, we can address issues such as justice or frameworks such as decolonization, in order to open up the field of research and practice to these previously unseen or ignored values, approaches and perspectives.
