Edited by Phyllis M. Messenger, Susan J. Bender
Part of the Cultural Heritage Studies series
Hardback
Description
As more and more people are recognizing the need for accurately representing the story of the United States in public narratives, especially those told at museums and historic landmarks, heritage studies is emerging as an important program of study in universities across the country.
These two collections are timely and valuable resources on the theory and practice of heritage education and its relationship to the discipline of archaeology. History and Approaches to Heritage Studies explores the historical development of cultural heritage theory and practice, as well as current issues in the field.
This volume brings together archaeologists who are deeply engaged with a range of stakeholders in heritage management and training.
Chapters contain useful reflections on working with descendant communities, local residents, community partners, and students in a variety of settings.
With a focus on pedagogy throughout, topics include the importance of critical thinking skills, how technology has transformed education, gender issues in archaeology, minorities in heritage careers, NAGPRA and ethics education, archaeology field schools, and e-learning.
