History 697U - ST: Landscape and Memory

This seminar explores the relationship between historical consciousness and environmental perception, or "sense of history" and "sense of place." Among the topics we will consider are how individuals and groups identify with particular environments; represent those environments in words and pictures; and transform those environments through the creation of monuments and memorials, historic preservation, and heritage tourism. Of particular interest are issues associated with the identification and protection of cultural disciplines, including cultural geography, history, anthropology, and landscape architectures.

Open to Doctoral & Masters students only.
