President Richard Hodges in discussion with educator and author, Peter Gould.

President Richard Hodges talks to Peter Gould about his new book, Empowering Communities through Archaeology and Heritage.

Peter Gould,  M.A. Sustainable Cultural Heritage and M.A. Arts Management, seeks to identify the success factors associated with economic development projects within communities adjacent to archaeological or heritage sites, a growing interest among archaeologists and heritage managers. Typically, the success of site museums, tourism businesses, or crafts cooperatives is rarely reported on in scholarly literature or subjected to systematic study. This new book, Empowering Communities through Archaeology and Heritage, addresses that gap. 

This is the first book to address how cultural heritage managed correctly can be an economic driver. Empowering Communities is a book that has huge implications for anyone interested in the future of archaeology and its management, especially in Mediterranean countries like Italy.
