Architecture (Critical Heritage Studies Concentration), M.S., and History (Public History Concentration), M.A., Dual Degree
|
|
The Critical Heritage / Public History dual degree builds upon these two complementary programs. Our faculty and students engage in a curriculum and research that seeks local solutions while engaging in global conversations; emphasizes hands-on engagement with communities and organizations; challenges authorized heritage discourses; diversifies approaches and practices of engaging with the past; and promotes the stories and sites that foreground the heritage of underrepresented communities. In addition, we see the preservation and interpretation of the built environment as interconnected with both social and environmental sustainability as well as engaging discourses and practices surrounding other tangible and intangible heritages happening in museums, archeological sites, and elsewhere.
This dual degree seeks to diversify the field of heritage and public history professionals as well as the histories and heritages preserved by providing training that situates historic preservation in a critical and transdisciplinary context, engages the global and local, diversifies approaches and practices, and promotes experiential learning, community engagement, and social and environmental sustainability.
