FYS 1081 - Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Eiffel Tower: Studies in Art and Cultural Heritage

Hours: 3
The Pyramids of Egypt. The historic city of Venice and its canals. The Buddhist Temple of Borobudur in Indonesia. These monumental sites and many more around the globe survive today due to conservation efforts of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and their World Heritage list. But what is heritage? Throughout this course, we will consider the many facets of heritage from local, national, and global perspectives and the importance of preserving cultural diversity. We’ll learn about sites around the globe, from Serpent Mound here in Ohio, to the Eiffel Tower in France, and the ancient Pyramids of Egypt. Class meetings will include visits to cultural sites in and around Columbus, and we’ll explore career paths in Cultural Heritage Management as well as ways to keep learning about cultural heritage no matter where your life takes you.
