Inspired by #DisplaysofPower Grant Museum of Zoology Let us be critical of collections, their histories and the lenses through which we view them. Let us listen to untold stories and remain open to discussion. Let us learn from and engage with alternative ways of knowing and being.

Monuments to the region’s glacial movements, these wondrous geological features in upstate New York have always inspired me. They are the art of the earth’s ability to transform and endure, to preserve moments of memory and beauty. #MuseumsUnlocked #geology

One way we're responding is by launching a resource that aims to improve transparency and provide organisational support for museums processing repatriation claims and those who wish to make claims. museumethnographersgroup.org.uk/en/resources/4…

We firmly believe that processing repatriation claims should be a core part of museum work in the acknowledgement of the complicity of museums in the colonial project, and in the drive to develop a more ethical and equitable future.

This week I deposited my PhD thesis at the Bodleian Libraries (Oxford Research Archive). Many thanks to my supervisor, Dan Hicks and examiners, Alex Geurds and Jen Baird. Tremendously grateful for the opportunity and for all who offered insight, kindness, and support.
