What We Choose to Remember: A Look into Dark Tourism

COURSE

Course description

Why are we drawn to places marked by tragedy?

From German concentration camps to American plantations, residential schools to heritage houses, this course will explore what we mean by “dark tourism” and examine the stories that public history sites choose to tell.

Discover what makes sites of public history powerful, how they shape our collective memory, and how they reflect our societal values. We’ll unpack how and why history is preserved and what that says about us.
