Heritage institutions, agencies, and organizations increasingly recognize the value of bottom-up approaches to heritage management. This class will explore issues related to community engagement in the heritage sector as students strategize ways to engage various constituencies in identifying, documenting, conserving, and interpreting heritage. Working from a lens of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, we will examine case studies throughout the United States and the world. Exploring the opportunities and challenges faced by such projects and examining the failures and successes will result in a broader understanding of best practices in the field and help us formulate effective strategies for future engagement.
