IHBC’s new issue of its celebrated membership journal, Context, is now out, offering diverse reports and perspectives on the institute’s 2016 Annual School, including Loyd Grossman’s keynote presentation, alongside the essential IHBC officer updates as well as added critical insights to wider practice such as charging options in listing and the challenges of conserving a purpose-designed ruin.
Michael Taylor, Chair of IHBC’s Context Editorial Board, said ‘The latest issue looks at the debates and issues at the Institute’s successful Annual School in Worcester, as it reports on the programme of lectures, discussions and visits all informed by the theme of this year’s school: ‘People Power: a catalyst for change’.’
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Context remains our most important contribution to practice and learning across the sector. The wide-ranging content in this issue ensures we’re offering value across all our very diverse membership, supporting career progress by exploring old and new ways to deliver conservation outcomes. With focussed member services and cutting-edge benefits such as Context, our members can continue to respond effectively to the fast-changing world of conservation practice.’
‘And Context’s knowledge and learning is even more accessible now as, not only is it available online, but we’ll also continue to feature individual articles and extracts both on our social media and on our new Conservation Wiki service.’
‘However while these innovative approaches extend the reach of our work and advocacy, we remain absolutely focused on the principle that if anyone wants to help deliver secure and sustainable conservation outcomes in their career, then IHBC membership is the first critical step.’
