Subcultural Heritage



This Thursday I will be participating on a panel entitled Subcultural Heritage: Emergence of Social Diversity and the Creation of Heritage. This is "Conversation #3" in a series of Shaping Vancouver panels hosted by Heritage Vancouver in partnership with SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement.
