As part of a Penn Global Engagement Fund project grant, conducted in collaboration with Vit Henisz of the Wharton School, CERL Affiliated Faculty Lynn Meskell examined public sentiment in every UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed since 1990. What she found is that popular notions of these sites are often at odds with how international organizations such as UNESCO and NATO represent them.

Prof. Meskell delivered her findings to NATO in Brussels this February and will present her research this summer in Rome and Sydney.
