2017 SUMMER FIELD SCHOOLGHANA – 28 May – July 1
The field school is designed to attract North American, Ghanaian, and international undergraduate and graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, and engineering interested in acquiring a multidisciplinary advanced training on surveying, digital modeling and engineering evaluation for the study and conservation of heritage masonry buildings of West Africa.
The field school takes place at the historic Elmina Castle, the most prominent of the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE site in Ghana.
The school will also foster the understanding of the historical environment, and in particular the pivotal role in the Transatlantic World, of Elmina Castle through study visits to other forts and castles in coastal Ghana.
In addition, the school will offer a broader view of the country’s natural and cultural heritage through guided visits to selected archaeological sites and national parks. The school is open to all UR students. There are no pre-‐requisites.
