Learning Objectives and Intended Skills

The course students have a very diverse background and curriculæ. In addition to the general objectives of advanced training in research methods and knowledge production, it is intended that students develop group working and international networks skills, creating a multiplier effect of this scope of studies. It is also intended that the Ph.D. students are provided with extensive cultural frameworks on the central theme of the course and the geography, resources, locations, and narratives that make up these cultural universes. In this line, heritage is a concept and a banner for developing an area of integration of the most diversified cultural studies. Without denying the relevance of the most diverse material expressions, the course's central focus is, admittedly, that of living heritages, that is, those in permanent change and day-to-day express the evolution of Humanity. For the course, cultural heritage is not past, but contemporaneity, it is also synonymous of sustainability.
