SUMMARY:Country Walks Through Colonial Britain
DESCRIPTION:The countryside is cherished by many Britons. There is a depth 
 of feeling about rural places: moors and lochs\, valleys and mountains\, c
 ottages and country houses. Yet the British countryside\, so integral to n
 arratives of nationhood and belonging (and also exclusion)\, is rarely see
 n as having anything to do with colonialism.\\r\\nFocusing on the many con
 nections between imperial wealth and British landscapes\, this lecture exp
 lores how empire affected rural labour and country life. The profits of ov
 erseas colonial activities\, and the select few who benefited\, heralded c
 hange which was not merely expressed in the designed landscapes of country
  estates but also by enclosure\, landownership and dispossession. Generall
 y considered separately\, this talk considers how these intertwined histor
 ies continue to shape lives across Britain today.\\r\\n Corinne Fowler is 
 Professor of Colonialism and Heritage in Museum Studies at the University 
 of Leicester. In 2020 Corinne co-authored an audit of peer-reviewed rese
 arch about National Trust properties’ connections to empire\, which gal
 vanized the heritage sector to address its colonial stories and became a
  major media story. The report won the Museums and Heritage Special Recogn
 ition Award\, 2022 and an Eastern Eye Award 2023.
