YAL1 - The Sustainable Preservation of Cultural Heritage

3 July 2017 – 4 August 2017
Hosted by Yale University

This course offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex factors that challenge the preservation of cultural heritage.

2016 Global Summer Program students exploring the artifacts of Yale's Collections.

Because the challenges associated with protecting the tangible and intangible, cultural and natural heritage of the world are global in character, students will explore the following:

  1. The evolution of ideas about what needs to be preserved.
  2. Threats to cultural heritage from natural decay, as well as social, political, and economic threats.
  3. The international protocols that have been developed for addressing these problems.

Students will be introduced to techniques for preservation, including chemical and materials analysis in the preservation lab and in the field; will learn about museum preservation and the science used to detect forgeries and fakes; and will consider the international legal and professional frameworks that enable cross-cultural efforts to combat trafficking in antiquities and to facilitate preservation.

Faculty from Yale Law School, the Yale School of Management, the Yale School of Architecture, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences will participate in many of the class sessions. In addition, the course will draw on the collections of the Yale University Museums for discussion and as the basis of student assignments.

Field Trip

The program will include a welcome lunch and campus tour and a farewell dinner. The course will also include a day trip to the United Nations in New York City.

Target Audience/ Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Delivery Method & Learning Outcomes

After completing the course and project, students will be able to identify the key factors—natural and human—that threaten cultural heritage and will be conversant in preservation methods. In addition, through their group projects, students will be able to apply their knowledge to real world case studies in cultural preservation.
