With funding from the National Science Foundation, Dr. Colloredo-Mansfeld will host twenty-one scholars in a two-day workshop that examines how communities use cultural assets in order to develop local economies. In particular, the workshop will assess how theories of the commons that explain natural resource systems can be adapted to investigate cultural resources. Indeed, unique, heritage-based resources have found prominence in the global economy. Many communities have sought legal protection for place-based crops, handcrafted commodities or ethnically identified wares. Other communities turn to cultural claims to restore economic value to traditional manufacture and commercial trades. The workshop aims to build an analytical framework that will allow comparison across such regional economies. The two day gathering will bring together an international group of scholars from the United States, England, Belgium and Australia who are currently researching artisan communities, indigenous cultural heritage, local food economies, and natural resource commons. Participants will divide their effort into four primary sessions: (1) the identification and valuation of cultural assets; (2) the description of interactions that generate cultural assets; (3) the place-based strategies that link culture and economy and shape the defense of regional trades; and (4) moderated round table discussions to narrow a research agenda and enable collaborative research projects. The central intellectual task is to connect research on local trades to the commons literature. Writers on law, popular culture, indigenous heritage, and technology, have embraced the idea of the commons to explain the importance and vulnerability of shared resources in a globally connected economy. However, work needs to address the crucial differences between assets that form within market systems themselves and forests, fisheries and pastures that stand apart from markets and become exploited as their products gain economic value. Participants in the workshop will develop the analytical terms to describe cultural resources, identify patterns of competition and cooperation that build these shared assets, and document rules, settings, and strategies used to defend resources against appropriation by powerful outsiders or over-exploitation by local producers. The objective is to articulate practical research questions that will allow researchers to return to their field sites and data sets to assess the use of cultural assets and compare their results. This workshop will set up an international collaboration that contributes to training, engaged scholarship, and policy work. In practical terms, UNC-Chapel Hill's Center for Integrating Research and Action (CIRA) will both provide support for the dissemination of project-related research and serve to promote graduate training rooted in the workshop's models. More broadly, the planned follow-up for the workshop in terms of research, a symposium, and publication will enable pathways of participation for other scholars, policy makers and potential graduate students seeking to engage and evaluate the workshop's model.

在国家科学基金会的资助下，Cooloredo-Mansfeld博士将在为期两天的研讨会中举办21名学者，该讲习班研究社区如何使用文化资产来发展当地经济。 特别是，研讨会将评估如何对自然资源系统的理论进行调整以调查文化资源。 确实，基于遗产的独特资源在全球经济中发现了突出。 许多社区已寻求针对基于地方的农作物，手工商品或种族认同的商品的法律保护。其他社区转向文化主张，将经济价值恢复为传统制造和商业行业。 该研讨会旨在建立一个分析框架，以允许在此类地区经济体之间进行比较。 为期两天的聚会将汇集来自美国，英格兰，比利时和澳大利亚的国际学者，他们目前正在研究工匠社区，土著文化遗产，当地食品经济体和自然资源共享。参与者将努力分为四个主要会议：（1）文化资产的识别和估值； （2）对产生文化资产的相互作用的描述； （3）将文化和经济联系起来并塑造区域行业的防御的基于地点的策略； （4）主持圆桌讨论，以缩小研究议程并实现协作研究项目。 中心的智力任务是将当地行业的研究与下议院文献联系起来。法律，大众文化，土著遗产和技术的作家已经接受了公地的想法，以解释在全球经济中共享资源的重要性和脆弱性。 但是，工作需要解决市场系统本身以及与市场脱离市场的森林，渔业和牧场中形成的资产之间的关键差异，并随着产品获得经济价值而被剥削。研讨会的参与者将开发分析术语，以描述文化资源，确定建立这些共享资产的竞争与合作模式，以及用于捍卫资源的文件规则，设置和策略，以防御资源，以防止强大的局外人或当地生产者的过度探索。目的是阐明实用的研究问题，使研究人员能够返回其现场地点和数据集，以评估文化资产的使用并比较其结果。 该研讨会将建立一个国际合作，有助于培训，参与奖学金和政策工作。实际上，UNC-Chapel Hill整合研究与行动中心（CIRA）都将为与项目相关的研究的传播提供支持，并有助于促进植根于研讨会模型的研究生培训。从更广泛的角度来看，在研究，研讨会和出版物方面，计划的后续活动将为其他学者，政策制定者和潜在的研究生提供参与的途径，他们寻求参与和评估研讨会的模型。
