Explore how cultural heritage is governed across global and local levels, from UNESCO to community-led initiatives. This course delves into the politics of heritage policy—who decides what counts, whose voices are heard, and how power shapes preservation. Students will tackle urgent issues like museum decolonization, illicit trafficking, and heritage’s role in sustainable development, grounded in real-world case studies from Strasbourg. By the end, you’ll be equipped to critically assess heritage governance and rethink its future in a changing world.
