New OSEA Programs for 2009


OSEA Program in Heritage Ethnography
This OSEA program links two dynamic and emergent fields of study — the ethnography of heritage and the ethnography of archaeology — into one five-star package for practitioners and students of all levels and experience. The core seminar in this program provides the conceptual and analytical foundations for understanding the global significance and processes of heritage in today’s increasingly interconnected world. Additional courses provide language training and research practicum in which participants design and conduct a research project. Collaborative team work among program participants and action-based research involving communities are encouraged. Ideal for undergraduate students in any cultural studies field and for archaeology graduate students currently working on an archaeology project in Yucatan. Special Maya language course available to enable participants to have communicative fluency with Maya communities and stake-holders.
