Larry Raigetal (University of Guam). Chair to be confirmed. What has this conference revealed about where critical heritage studies is heading? In this closing plenary, a panel of leading heritage scholars, all of whom have presented at ACHS 2026, reflect on the threads that have emerged across four days of dialogue on weaving relational heritage spaces. Panellists offer their perspectives on the most significant insights, tensions and turning points of the week, and on what a more relational, indigenised and ecologically engaged critical heritage studies might look like in the years ahead.
