MUSE 611 - Cult Heritage and Soc Just

Unit(s): 4

In this course, students examine the history and role of museums as cultural gatekeepers and interpreters of both the past and present in light of contemporary ethical and social justice concerns. Students are introduced to the challenges of preserving and displaying cultural heritage in an increasingly globalized economy, cultural memory and commodification, and the politics of power in representing cultural heritage to diverse audiences.
