Course syllabus
This course is held between 26 March 2021 - 6 June 2021
Welcome!
We are very happy to welcome you all to the Global Politics of Heritage! We hope you will enjoy exploring the various ways in which people draw on the past in order to handle issues in the present around the globe together with us. Due to the pandemic, the course will be given entirely online, with a mix of live discussions and prerecorded lectures, and the zoom links will be under each Module.
You will see that we have tried to keep our lectures and seminars after lunch (with some exceptions). The idea is that you then get the morning to do the course readings – we hope this will lead to you coming well prepared to class!
