|---|---|---|

Interpol has estimated that stolen art and antiquities is the third
largest illegal market, behind drugs and the arms trade. This two-credit seminar will examine the legal framework for the protection of
cultural property both internationally and in the United States, with
emphasis given to the illicit international trade in art and
antiquities and the repatriation of cultural objects. The course will
examine classic controversies, such as the rightful ownership of the
Elgin Marbles, while likewise considering more recent events such as
the looting of museums in Iraq. The seminar will also survey American
cultural property protections and examine their broader ethical and
policy implications. Seminar, if taken for 3 credits, may satisfy the
writing requirement.
Class is 2 or 3 credits. Students enrolling for 3 credits will write a
substantial paper that will meet the Writing Requirement. Optionally satisfies the writing requirement. |
