Dr Caroline Sturdy Colls has had a co-authored article published in the International Journal of Heritage Studies.

In this article Dr Gilly Carr and Dr Caroline Sturdy Colls propose the concept of taboo heritage as a way to describe a legacy of war so sensitive that it never undergoes heritage creation. The article also examines the transition from taboo heritage to sensitive heritage, the next step along the ‘heritage continuum’, which they propose can only occur through the combined efforts of the passage of time, the role of activists and official authorisation. The article uses the   case study of two of the British Channel Islands of Jersey and Alderney, occupied by German forces from 1940 to 1945.
