My project is to develop and establish a curriculum for Cultural Property Protection in the Event of Armed Conflict at the Rome based NATO Defense College. The project would build on US Defense and international initiatives for teaching military personnel about considerations for cultural property. The proposed curriculum would include a series of modules covering multiple aspects of the complex relationship between military operations and cultural property stewardship, like legal drivers, mission considerations, sources of information, and informed responses. The Rome Prize enables partnership with the Italian Carabinieri and the NGO WATCH, as well as offer valuable onsite research and teaching opportunities. The project will contribute toward international progress for meaningful stewardship of cultural property in areas of conflict and disaster.
