ANTH 375 - Museums and Critical Heritage

We explore the rapidly growing, international field of critical heritage studies. The focus is on what museums, monuments, cultural performances, and other places and events dedicated to local, regional, and world heritage signify regarding the relationship of public culture to identity and power. Case studies of tourist destinations, heritage sites, and museum exhibits are a central part of the course.
