US Preservation Field Studies and Advocacy
This course will examine preservation advocacy, using field trips and guest lecturers. Students will learn about methods for the application of historic preservation law and practice within the United States and its effects. Speakers and site visits will represent a range of constituencies from citizens leading grass-roots advocacy efforts to save buildings or neighborhoods to the work of local organizations, to the work of state and federal organizations. Field trips to local organizations will likely include the Preservation Resource Center, the Pitot House, Felicity Street Redevelopment, Tulane City Center, the State Historic Preservation Office in Baton Rouge, and the annual conference of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Field Studies in North America course requires participation at an annual national historic preservation conference in the United States or Canada such those conducted by the US National Trust for Historic Preservation, the International Association of Preservation Technology or the US/International Council on Monuments and Sites.
