September 5</span><sup><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">th</span></sup><span style="color:black"> to December 15</span><sup><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">th</span></sup><span style="color:black">. Full details of the course may be found

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The main goal of HERM 672 is to build knowledge for disaster risk management for cultural heritage sites and collections. It examines how cultural heritage may be impacted by different types of disasters, and how
cultural values can be changed or transformed during crises and disasters. In doing so, the course shows that cultural heritage is not only a victim in disasters and armed conflict; rather it can actively be a driver for resilience and can potentially contribute
to disaster risk reduction and disaster recovery<i>.</i></span><i><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This course focuses on the measures and actions that cultural heritage professionals should undertake before, during, and after a disaster. This course is unique in Canada in
</span><span style="color:black">that it examines existing international, national, and local frameworks for the protection of cultural heritage, while offering students the flexibility of an online, distance based learning environment.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
