A public lecture by Dr. Evelyne Godfrey, Department of Classics, Mount Allison University.

Heritage place-making and identity context is essential for us to understand the
background of decolonisation and anti-racism, but there is a danger of informed
discussion being shut down on campuses in many places. In this talk, we’ll look at two
as yet unresolved case-studies of repatriation of cultural heritage acquired under
colonial circumstances by institutions in Britain: an important Mi’gmaw
archaeological assemblage that has been held at Oxford University’s Pitt Rivers
Museum for the past eighty years, and the Parthenon sculptures held in the British
Museum.
