Educational Opportunity - College-Level Course on Memorials and Monuments

[CoreyC508692]

Today, questions surrounding the history, design, and (re-)location of monuments and memorials confront communities at the local, state, and national levels. As an historian with more than 15 years of teaching experience whose work centers around public memory and memorial cultures, I am excited to offer an on-line college-level course for anyone seeking to learn more about these topics. The course examines a variety of memorial landscapes in and beyond the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the process, it explores how and why local and national communities have remembered and still remember particular historical events and figures in public spaces. Moreover, it reflects upon the ways in which the commemoration of specific events and people often entails the forgetting, or erasure, of others. Finally, the course studies the logistical, social, and emotional processes through which monuments are created and, in some cases, altered or removed over time.

This non-credit bearing course is offered for a small fee simply to help enrich the thinking of anyone interested in memorials and monuments. There are no assignments, and you can review the recorded lessons at your own pace. Just enjoy learning for the sake of learning!
