HIST 568 - Heritage Tourism

This course considers the history of heritage tourism and how it has developed in the United States. Heritage tourism has been used not only as a method for preserving landscapes and sites of historical importance, but also as a tool for promoting nationalism, boosting local economies, and selling real and imagined identities. With that in mind, this class will ask: what are the consequences of selling the past?

Prerequisites Acceptance into the History MA program or acceptance into the ABM concentration in Public History.
