NEW! REMOTE Black, Latino, Indigenous and Asian American Heritage: Inclusive Views in Architectural Preservation By examining a series of historic sites as case studies, including at least 1 field trip, the class will consider the role race has had on the built environment and how race continues to shape key narratives within the preservation community.
