Community Engagement and Consultation

3 Credits

A grounding in cultural communication and sensitivity to community, cultural, and stakeholder needs within and beyond project specific confines. Using the broader context of practicing anthropology in the exploration of communication styles, learning styles, and cultural biases and taboos, students are exposed to underlying concepts concerning inter-cultural communication so that they may develop more collaborative approaches to research. The program also provides background in the development of public outreach programs in the context of cultural and heritage resource management.
