DECOLONIZING EUROPEAN MUSEUMS: THERE IS MORE AT STAKE THAN YOU THINK...
4PM
– 5:30PM
Kansas Union, Alderson Auditorium, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd
German ethnological museums have been at the center of a contentious debate about decolonization for over a decade. Glenn Penny, Henry Bruman Chair of History at UCLA, discusses how German museums are coming to terms with their colonial pasts in the context of Germany’s transcultural present.
