Marit van Dijk (1993) is a heritage professional and social geographer. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the Reinwardt Academy for Cultural Heritage (part of the Amsterdam University of the Arts). Afterwards she was offered a scholarship from the VSBfund to obtain a MA in Geography: Cities, Space and Culture at University College Cork in Ireland. She graduated with First Class Honours with a thesis on the influence of street names and statues in public space on the collective memory. Marit combines her knowledge and experience of heritage with a spatial mindset. This is reflected in her writing, research and curatorial practices.
