TEACHING CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION

Heritage Preservation, Cultural Resource Stewardship, and Related Fields

Teaching Cultural Heritage Preservation: Historic Preservation, Cultural Resource Stewardship, and Related Fields was developed to encourage colleges and universities to create undergraduate courses focusing on the preservation of minority cultural heritage or to incorporate parts of this material into appropriate existing courses. While applicable at any institution of higher education, this course outline is intended for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Asian American Studies programs, and Tribal Colleges.

The course is organized around three units: 1) Place and Culture; 2) Power and Politics; and 3) Process and Profession. Each unit consists of Learning Objectives, Learning Activities, and Learning Resources. The course is designed to be compatible with a number of disciplines including history, cultural studies, American studies, architecture, and community planning, as well as others.
