Issues in Cultural Heritage Policy and Practice

This seminar course considers a series of issues centered around the core question, “who owns the past?” Exploring constructs of cultural heritage/cultural property and the museum, we will examine ideas about art objects, especially “antiquities” of a sacred or religious nature, from multiple perspectives, including politics, public and international policy, law, economics and economic development, public custodianship, and heritage preservation.
