Course description
ARCS3118 is a work Integrated learning course that prepares students for work in the cultural heritage sector. Heritage is increasingly recognised as a key element of human culture and is an important element of identity, power and authority. Managing heritage in the face of a range of pressures is a daily reality for professional archaeologists. It requires a nuanced understanding of what constitutes heritage, how heritage values are ascribed, legal structures controlling management practices, stakeholder values and professional ethical obligations ¿ items that often conflict with each other in heritage practice! ARCS3118 delves into the theory, process and practice of heritage management through a combination of seminars, online modules, class exercises and fieldtrips to explore current best practice.
