This module consists of a 4000-word proposal to develop a heritage project that could include public engagement in museum and heritage sites, analogue and digital projects for preservation and communication of heritage and/or museum content, guidelines for best practices of heritage management and preservation.
The aim of this module is to allow third/final year students with an interest in heritage to design, develop, and assess a heritage project.
By the end of this module, students should have:
1. developed relevant research skills, such as independence of thought, the capacity to organise and structure a longer piece of work, the ability to explore the secondary literature on a particular topic in a more autonomous way and to develop their own ideas and arguments more in depth than in a standard-length essay;
2. deepened their knowledge in the area relevant to the topic they have selected;
3. developed transferable skills such as the ability to work with others (the supervisor), time management and clear communication, both oral and written;
4. developed confidence in relevant digital skills.
No additional information available.
Once the proposal has been approved the student will be entitled to a minimum of one and half hours and a maximum of three hours, of one-to-one supervisions (in addition to the initial meeting where the topic is discussed and agreed).
Please note that there is no entitlement to supervision during the vacation preceding the submission date of the project.
The supervisor will help guide you as you begin to develop the heritage project, start researching the project and write the proposal. The text should be 4,000 words long (plus or minus 10%).
The finished product should show an all-round grasp of your subject and the ability to present your material clearly, succinctly and in the most appropriate sequence. It should also demonstrate evidence of a serious engagement with your project, a mastery of the information currently available, and the inclusion of your own critical voice in relation to the heritage project.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
