Athabasca University’s Heritage Resources Management Program is pleased to announce the release of a new course, HERM 672 Heritage and Risk Management. This course will run in the upcoming Fall semester, September 5th to December 15th. Full details of the course may be found here: http://www.athabascau.ca/syllabi/herm/herm672.php <http://www.athabascau.ca/syllabi/herm/herm672.php> The main goal of HERM 672 is to build knowledge for disaster risk management for cultural heritage sites and collections. It examines how cultural heritage may be impacted by different types of disasters, and how cultural values can be changed or transformed during crises and disasters. In doing so, the course shows that cultural heritage is not only a victim in disasters and armed conflict; rather it can actively be a driver for resilience and can potentially contribute to disaster risk reduction and disaster recovery. This course focuses on the measures and actions that cultural heritage professionals should undertake before, during, and after a disaster. This course is unique in Canada in that it examines existing international, national, and local frameworks for the protection of cultural heritage, while offering students the flexibility of an online, distance based learning environment. If you are interested in taking this course this September, please contact our office before August 1st at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or Toll Free by telephone at 1-800-788-9041 ext. 6721.
