Cornelius Holtorf is Professor of Archaeology and UNESCO Chair on Heritage Futures at Linnaeus University, where he directs the Graduate School in Contract Archaeology. His research examines heritage preservation, contemporary archaeology, and long-term cultural strategies for nuclear waste management. Holtorf collaborates with the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company on intergenerational memory projects.
Holtorf's innovative work develops frameworks for understanding heritage as dynamic future-making processes rather than static preservation. His concepts of 'heritage futures' and 'archaeology of the future' reconceptualize how societies maintain cultural continuity.
Recent publications analyze the Climate Heritage Paradox and challenge conventional loss aversion approaches in heritage conservation. Holtorf advocates for adaptive heritage practices that embrace transformation as essential to cultural resilience in changing environments.
