HIST 2015 21 Set in Stone? Memory, Monuments, and Public History
This online course is designed to provide students with a historical perspective of the centrality of monuments and memory to nation-building. The course walks students through an analysis of recent actions to bring down statues/ monuments. The course is divided into three parts, allowing us to scrutinize the cultural importance of statues in crafting national memories, their place in public spaces, and the debate over their permanence after a society adopts a critical review of the past.
