PHIL/HERM 334: Professional Ethics in Heritage Resources Management examines the ways that ethical issues and moral theories shape heritage practice. These issues are approached through an understanding of moral reasoning and of the various codes of practice that have been accepted as framing heritage practice. Beginning with the debate between professional specialists and generalists in this field, the course will move on to examine personal versus institutional ethics, cultural relativism, censorship, and conflicts of interest.
