MANAGING CULTURAL HERITAGE

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

In this subject students apply concepts, processes and outcomes to the management of cultural heritage. We take a holistic approach to identifying, analysing and managing the tangible heritage of built and archaeological places, landscapes, objects and the intangible heritage of stories, traditional knowledge, songs and language. Using Australian and international case studies we evaluate core issues in conservation management planning including significance assessment, the inclusion of multiple stakeholders and values, identifying impacts and managing change, interpretation and sustainability. Students will also use case studies to apply the regulatory framework governing cultural heritage management in Australia and the roles and relationships of various professions involved in the industry.
