UVic Cultural Heritage Studies grad courses – Western Dean’s Agreement
UVic is offering an online graduate summer course that may be of interest to some of the students in your program. Your grad students could complete a course (as an elective, for example) at UVic at no extra cost to them through the Western Dean’s Agreement (http://www.uvic.ca/graduatestudies/assets/docs/forms/Western-Deans-Agreement-Form.pdf. We have capacity in the course so I thought it would be worthwhile to pass this around. Please let your students know, if you feel it is appropriate. If I should contact someone else in your program – please let me know.
CH 562: Heritage Conservation Planning (May 5-Aug 10 2014) – This course considers how traditional concepts of curatorship have shifted significantly in the face of more democratic relations with community, more subjective perspectives of knowledge, and increasing emphasis on the museum’s social and educative roles. Explores the nature and scope of contemporary critical curatorial theory and practice and focuses on the ways in which curators engage with cultural heritage resources, develop sustainable collections, and generate and share associated knowledge to meet the needs of diverse communities.
You can learn more about the Cultural Heritage Studies Graduate Professional Certificate at www.uvcs.uvic.ca/cultural/graduate/programs/certificate/.
If you are interested in taking one of these courses, please speak to your Grad Advisor and submit the Western Deans Agreement Form.
