Overview
What you will study
Heritage is about the past in the present—what survives, what is valued, and what is selected to be preserved. Heritage is a contested domain in flux, with many ‘stakeholders’, layers of meaning, and uses.
The Heritage Studies - the politics of the past course offered by University of Cambridge asks who owns the past? What places and practices are worthy of being deemed ‘heritage’? How does politics influence our understanding of heritage? If you are interested in these questions, then this course is for you. Join us as we explore some of the big questions about how to understand the role of the past in the present. Specifically, we will look at a range of pivotal and highly contested heritage debates, such as commodification, repatriation, illicit antiquities, and decolonisation.
If you are interested in tackling questions about how we think about our past, then this course is for you. During this course we will explore some of the most charged debates in heritage studies today through a mix of illustrated lectures, live discussions, videos, and readings.
