SUMMARY:Online Collections and Teaching Whiteness at the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, April 12 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Christopher Mulvey (PhD\, Anthropology) \nOnline Collections and Teaching Whiteness at the University of Michigan Museum of Art \nOver the summer of 2018\, I worked as an intern with the Education Department at the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, creating teaching resources with themes centered on “whiteness” and “masculinities.” Using the online system “The Exchange\,” I reviewed UMMA’s collection and generated new Teaching Collections and Resources on aspects of the collection that were relatively underexplored\, in addition to leading several tours centered on race\, ethnicity\, and gender. This work opened questions of access\, knowledge production\, and the value of underutilized collections. My Brown Bag talk will highlight how museums can begin to loosen their grip on curating collections through the creation and maintenance of systems like The Exchange\, which offer chances for both University and broader publics to engage with shaping how images can be put into conversation with one another. In addition\, I will discuss curating whiteness and masculinities—subjects that often fall by the wayside in teaching both history and art—in an effort to illustrate how the museum can broadly effect change and work against its colonial history. \nBrownBag_Mulvey

SUMMARY:Enhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 29 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Alison Rittershaus (PhD candidate\, Interdisciplinary Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nEnhancing Access to Roman Ceramics at the Harvard Art Museums \nThis talk discusses the tensions revealed between the shifting mission of a university museum and the complicated history of its collections during my internship in the curatorial department of Asian and Mediterranean Art at the Harvard Art Museums. In addition to shadowing department faculty and staff throughout ongoing strategizing about publications\, exhibitions\, and teaching accessibility with the goal of broadening the museum’s audience\, I worked on researching its substantial collection of Roman ceramic lamps\, fleshing out their entries in the online catalogue and proposing methods to integrate them into classroom teaching and gallery displays. \nJust as the institution is an agglomeration of multiple museums searching for a cohesive brand identity\, the lamp collection presents an accumulation of objects that resists neat categorization. They arrived over the course of more than a century\, residing in a variety of Harvard-affiliated collections before finding a permanent home in the art museum. Though they are archaeological objects\, with very few interesting primarily for their aesthetic value\, many lack information about their origin and many can be easily identified as modern forgeries or reproductions. This talk explores the process of trying to use the constraints to put the lamp collection to use in service of the larger museum’s goals. \nBrownBag_Rittershaus \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 22 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Megan Berkobien (PhD candidate\, Comparative Literature) \nFrom Club to Third Space: On the Interrogation and Creation of Community at the Scarab Club\, Detroit \nFor over a century\, the Scarab Club has been an important gathering space for artists and patrons in Detroit’s museum district. Yet\, while the Scarab Club takes its mission as “foster[ing] a stronger\, more vibrant arts community in Detroit\,” the majority of its members and staff live outside of the city. In this sense\, it is no surprise that the once-exclusive Club has yet to transcend its legacy as an organization closed to large swaths of the Detroit community\, including those most marginalized by the suburb-city divide. As an intern\, I worked alongside staff to get intentional about community making and inclusion. In addition to assisting in day-to-day operations\, I designed a visitor’s survey\, supported and coordinated programming that featured Detroiters of color\, and facilitated conversations about equity and governance whenever possible. In this talk\, I will discuss how the Club might confront its history of exclusion through creative exhibition and programming\, and\, by doing so\, better position itself as a gallery and arts venue that uplifts artists from within the city. \nBrownBag_Berkobien \n

SUMMARY:Locating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Craig Harvey (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology) \nLocating and Relocating Lugdunum: Collection Management at Lugdunum — Musée et théâtres romains\, Lyon \nThe archaeology museum of Lyon\, recently renamed to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains\, is located on the hill of Fourvière\, overlooking the ancient theatres of the Roman city of Lugdunum. This museum is home to an impressive collection of artefacts from the city of Lyon and the surrounding region. The museum’s collection can be divided into two parts. The first\, known as the fonds ancien\, comprises thousands of inscriptions\, statues\, and other ancient works of art collected over the centuries by Lyon’s Musée des Beaux-Arts and gifted to the archaeology museum at its opening in 1975. The second part is the ever-increasing collection of archaeological artefacts uncovered by excavation and deposited in the museum repository\, as is required by French law. The fact that many of the museum’s objects have been in collections for centuries coupled with the growing number of artefacts from new excavations makes for a difficult collection to manage. \nThis past fall\, I had the opportunity to work with the museum’s collection\, both assisting with an inventory of all artefacts on display and helping with the move of the museum’s storage to an off-site facility. During my time at the museum\, I encountered issues concerning the accessibility and documentation of this very large and old collection. In addition to discussing these issues\, this talk will provide a brief introduction to Lugdunum – Musée et théâtres romains and give an overview of my internship there. It will also present examples of how the museum is making its collection more accessible to scholars despite recently moving the majority of its storage to a decentralized location. These initiatives include the creation of an online database and the use of new gallery spaces outside the museum. \nBrownBag_Harvey \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Swift Death and Steady Resurrection: Salvage Anthropology and U.S. Museums
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Samuel J. Redman \nWhat should museums do with stolen artifacts? Should the response be similar with stolen knowledge? This talk explores the history and legacy of salvage anthropology as it relates to museums in the United States. Salvage anthropology was a movement responding to the perceived threat of extinction faced by indigenous societies around the world. The movement brought millions of material culture objects to museums\, inspired the creation of audio recordings by the thousands\, and pushed artists to depict Native Americans in new ways. Museums in the United States even began collecting human remains\, with over 500\,000 individual sets of human remains ultimately ending up in museum storerooms. This talk examines the complex history and legacy of salvage anthropology\, especially for indigenous communities in the United States today. \n  \nSamuel J. Redman teaches public history\, oral history\, and modern U.S. history at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. Redman is the author of Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums (Harvard\, 2016). He earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota\, Morris and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley. Before graduate school he worked in the Science Museum of Minnesota\, Field Museum of Natural History\, and Colorado History Museum. His recent articles include\, “The Smithsonian at War: Museums in U.S. Society during World War II\,” “Impossible Appraisals: Art\, Anthropology\, and the Limits of Evaluating Museum Collections in the Mid-Twentieth Century United States\,” “Have Anthropology Museums Become History Museums?: A Visit to Museum für Völkerkunde in Hamburg\, Germany\,” and “The Hearst Museum of Anthropology\, the New Deal\, and a Reassessment of the ‘Dark Age’ of the Museum in the United States.” \n  \nMarch 12 at 6:30 pm \nUM Museum of Art\, Helmut Stern Auditorium \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Program in Science\, Technology and Society (STS); Program in Science\, Technology and Public Policy (STPP); Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies; UM Kelsey Museum of Archaeology; UM Museum of Anthropological Archaeology; UM Museum of Natural History \n \n  \nRedman lecture announcement

SUMMARY:Interpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, March 1 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  Timnet Gedar (PhD candidate\, History) \nInterpreting Objects and Exhibitions at the National Museum of Eritrea \nThe National Museum of Eritrea was established in 1992\, a year after the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front earned victory in a thirty-year war for independence. This history has shaped the nature of exhibits and interpretation at the museum in ways that both limit outcomes and allow for creativity. In this presentation\, I weave together this history with my practical work of writing object labels and exhibit introductions in order to understand the meaning and challenges of interpretive content at museums — especially museums in a postcolonial African setting. \nBrownBag_Gedar \n \n

SUMMARY:Dealing with Africa and African Things at the Ethnografiska Museet\, Stockholm
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, February 15 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  UM Museum of Art\, Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nPresenter:  James Munene (PhD\, Anthropology) \nDealing with Africa and African Things at the Ethnografiska Museet\, Stockholm \nThe Ethnografiska Museet (Museum of Ethnography)\, Stockholm became part of the Swedish Museums of World Culture in 1999. The museum has a collection of about 220\,000 items from different parts of the continent.  The first collection from Africa came to Sweden in the 18th century from South Africa. Today\, the museum has over 900 collections from 47 out of 54 countries in Africa. In the early 20th century\, Swedish missionaries brought back a large number of objects from the Congo\, Ethiopia\, and South Africa. \nRepresentation of Africa and collections from Africa is an issue the museum has struggled with over the last many years. During my internship at the museum\, I was engaged in several activities surrounding this issue. My talk will mirror some on my experiences focusing on the subject areas relating to learning from objects\, the museum in the changing world and museum identity and representation. \nBrownBag_Munene

SUMMARY:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series: Consolation\, JuYeon Kim
DESCRIPTION:Born in Seoul\, South Korea\, JuYeon Kim works and lives in New York. She has shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including New York\, Washington\, DC\, Shanghai\, and Seoul. Additionally\, Kim has been awarded several residencies such as MacDowell Colony\, Kohler Arts Center\, Triangle\, and the Roswell Artist in Residence Fellowship. Kim has also held several positions as a visiting artist and professor. A 2018–2019 Roman Witt Resident\, Kim is creating a multimedia installation work in collaboration with the Stamps School community and composer George Tsontakis that seeks to explore themes around Korean “comfort women”— the female prisoners of the Japanese army during World War II.  Kim states: “Although my installation project was conceived and initiated before my awareness of the #MeToo movement developing in the States and around the world\, it seems to me to be so poignantly connected to the historical plight of women everywhere. While the travails of the Korean ‘comfort women’ are an extreme example of women’s integrity being compromised\, the assault sadly continues on various levels and by different degrees.” \nPresented with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Institute for the Humanities. \nAdditional details can be found here.

SUMMARY:Museums as Sites of Healing: Empathy\, Repair\, and Critical Reflection
DESCRIPTION:What are the ethical responsibilities of university museums when our local communities face profound crises and occasions of injustice? How might we foster compassion and promote conversations that can build enduring community bonds\, while honoring our academic commitments to promoting critical analysis and stewardship of our scientific and cultural collections? \nMichigan State University Museum Director Mark Auslander explores several instances\, in which museums have grappled with moral challenges close to home\, including facing up to legacies of slavery on a college campuses and the threatened mass eviction of a low-income neighborhood. His primary case study is the MSU Museum’s current partnership with the survivors of the horrific sexual abuse crisis at MSU\, in which the museum has committed to collecting material culture and narratives associated with the crisis and co-curating with survivors and parents an exhibition on the scandal\, its ramifications\, and struggles for institutional transformation. What lessons have been learned and how might we\, together\, chart productive pathways forward? \nPresented by Mark Auslander – Director\, MSU Museum and Associate Professor of Anthropology and History\, Michigan State University \nDecember 7 at 12:00 pm\, UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room \n  \nco-sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies \n  \nBrownBag_Auslander \n  \n \nphotography credit Pearl Yee Wong

SUMMARY:Using Racist Memorabilia to Teach Tolerance and Promote Social Justice: the Case of the Jim Crow Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Jim Crow Museum is the nation’s largest publicly accessible collection of racist artifacts. Located on the campus of Ferris State University in Big Rapids\, Michigan\, the museum houses more than 12\,000 objects—primarily\, but not exclusively\, segregation era artifacts and everyday anti-black caricatured objects. The museum’s innovative mission—which doubles as its tagline—is “using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance.”  As such\, the Jim Crow Museum serves as a compelling model for all museums to consider. \nProf. David Pilgrim\, founder and current director of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia also serves as Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ferris State University. \nPlease note that some may be offended by the images in the presentation. \n  \nOctober 23\, 2018 at 6:30 p.m.\, Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan Museum of Art \n  \nPresented by the University of Michigan Museum Studies Program with the support of the Office of the Vice President for Student Life\, the School of Information\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion. \n  \nPilgrim lecture announcement_Final \n  \nDr. David Pilgrim\, Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at Ferris State University\, is one of this country’s leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism\, diversity\, and race relations. He has been interviewed by National Public Radio\, Time magazine\, the British Broadcasting Corporation\, and dozens of newspapers\, including the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Boston Globe\, Chicago Tribune\, and the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Pilgrim is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum — a 11\,000 piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State University\, in Big Rapids\, Michigan. The museum\, innovatively\, uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. Dr. Pilgrim’s writings\, many found at www.ferris.edu/jimcrow\, are used by scholars\, students\, and civil rights workers to better understand historical and contemporary expressions of racism. \nDr. Pilgrim is an applied sociologist with a doctorate from The Ohio State University. He believes that racism can be objectively studied and creatively assailed. In 2004\, he produced with Clayton Rye the documentary Jim Crow’s Museum to explain his approach to battling racism. The film won several awards including Best Documentary at the 2004 Flint Film Festival.  Dr. Pilgrim’s writings\, scholarly and creative\, deal with multiculturalism and race relations. His short stories have been published in Calaloo\, Obsidian\, African American Review\, Aim\, and Shooting Star. He is the author of Understanding Jim Crow: Using Objects of Intolerance to Teach Tolerance (PM Press\, 2015)\, used as a text in teaching undergraduates in the Museum Studies Minor at the University of Michigan. \nDr. Pilgrim challenges audiences to think deeply about diversity and race relations. He is a Ferris State University Distinguished Teacher. Dr. Pilgrim has spent his adult life using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. It works. His goal is to get people talking about diversity and race relations in meaningful ways — and\, then\, to go and do something positive. \n

SUMMARY:Expansive Realities: A Longer History of the “Virtual” in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: Kristina Kleutghen\, David. W. Mesker Associate Professor of Art History and Archaeology\, Chinese Art and Architecture\, Washington University in St. Louis \nThe History of Art Department at the University of Michigan presents graduate student presentations for its biannual Graduate Symposium\, Expansive Realities: A Longer History of the “Virtual” in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture. \nAs artistic practice increasingly engages with digital media and the virtual\, our symposium aims to foster discussions of the theoretical\, social\, and cultural nature of this phenomenon. While often linked to the digital age\, the virtual implies imagined and immersive spaces that defy material and physical boundaries.  Presentations will examine intersections between art and the virtual in a variety of historical and cultural contexts\, investigating the virtual not only in relation to contemporary visual culture\, but also as a phenomenon extending to the pre-modern periods of the history of art. \nCo-sponsored by UM Museum Studies Program\, UM Museum of Art\, Department of Classical Studies\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Department of American Culture\, Comparative Literature\, Confucius Institute\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Slavic Languages & Literatures\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology

SUMMARY:EIHS Symposium: Museum Stories: The Ethics of Collecting
DESCRIPTION:What constitutes rightful ownership of cultural objects? The unprecedented looting of modern wars as well as various protest movements have spawned international regulations\, declarations\, and efforts that offer guidance in this regard. The extant framework\, however\, falls short of exhausting the ethical problems raised by artifacts\, their histories\, and their displays. For museum and university collections these questions have gained the greatest urgency. Our panel offers reflections on this vast terrain; three case studies will follow an opening contribution by one of the foremost experts on restitution\, repatriation\, and cultural heritage law. \nPanelists:\nPatty Gerstenblith\, Distinguished Research Professor of Law\, DePaul University\nRaymond Silverman\, Professor\, History of Art\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, University of Michigan\nTerry G. Wilfong\, Director / Curator of Graeco-Roman Egyptian Collections\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, University of Michigan\nYao-Fen You\, Associate Curator\, European Sculpture and Decorative ArtsDetroit Institute of Arts\nHelmut Puff (chair)\, Elizabeth L.

SUMMARY:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. Beyond Borders: Global Africa reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series. \nLead support for Beyond Borders: Global Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and the Museum Studies Program.  Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.  \nExhibit runs August 11 – November 25 at the UM Museum of Art \nThe full schedule can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:American History Workshop - Constructing America: Identities\, Infrastructure and Institutions
DESCRIPTION:In whose image is America constructed? What does “America” mean? In what ways has the world constructed America\, just as America has shaped itself? The American History Workshop invites you to join us in considering these and other questions at our annual graduate student conference: \n  \nConstructing America: Identities\, Infrastructure and Institutions \nMay 4\, 2018 8:30am – 6pm \nMay 5\, 2018 9am – 4pm \n1014 Tisch Hall \n  \nOur keynote speaker is Professor of American Studies\, Laura Barraclough (Yale University). Her talk\, “Colonizing and Decolonizing Frontier Imaginaries in the U.S. West\,” will be Friday May 4 at 4pm. Her talk will examine three sites in which imaginaries of the “western frontier” have been constructed and deconstructed in relationship to structures of settler colonialism\, migration\, and inequality. These include: rural land-use protections for horse-keeping and western heritage in Los Angeles; Mexican Americans use of the charro (gentleman horseman) to secure public and private space in California\, Texas\, and Nevada; and the Gila River Indian Community’s purchase and operation of a Wild West-style theme park just outside of Phoenix. Her goal is to have us think about the malleability of frontier myths: how they have been used to secure settler colonialism\, but can also be repurposed for spatial justice\, decolonization\, and sovereignty. \n  \nA Public History Roundtable will take place on Saturday\, May 5\, 11:30-1:30\, featuring speakers from museum\, archival and digital humanities fields.  NOTE\, this portion of the conference has been cancelled! \n  \nWe’ll be hosting panelists representing 14 universities across the U.S. and Canada\, whose disciplines range from History\, American Studies\, Urban Planning\, English\, Architecture and more. Please see the attached posters and full schedule. Breakfast and lunch will be provided both Friday and Saturday. \n  \nPlease register here if you are interested in attending. \n  \nPlease contact Daniela Sheinin (dsheinin@umich.edu) with any questions. \n  \nCo-sponsored by:  The Department of History\, Museum Studies Program\, and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies \n  \nConstructing America schedule

SUMMARY:What Do Curators Know?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 27 at 6:30 pm \nMichigan League (Michigan Room) \nPresentation by Steven Lubar Professor of American Studies\, History of Art and Architecture\, and History\, Brown University and Museum Studies Program Visiting Scholar \nCurators are experts on an astonishing range of topics. But what else do they know? I believe that curators’ hands-on work with art\, artifacts\, and specimens provides them a kind of knowledge unavailable in any other way. Handling objects\, understanding their materiality\, offers insights into their histories of creation\, meaning\, and use. Organizing them for storage\, research and exhibition allows new insights that allow understandings of connections across space and change over time. Curatorial knowledge matters\, even as the role of the museum and curator changes. \n  \nSteven Lubar is professor in the Departments of American Studies\, History\, and History of Art and Architecture at Brown University. He was previously curator at the National Museum of American History\, and Director of Brown’s John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage and Brown’s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. He is a 2015 Guggenheim Fellow. His most recent book is Inside the Lost Museum: Curating\, Past and Present.  \n  \nco-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of  Art \n  \nLubar lecture announcement

SUMMARY:Historic House Museums workshop
DESCRIPTION:The morning session of this workshop is free and open to the public.  The afternoon visit to Fair Lane Estate\, however\, is limited to 40 people and is fully registered. \nHouse museums have been a mainstay of the American museum landscape for generations.  The most common museum type in the United States\, these monuments to affluence and influence—often associated with ‘great men’ and community founders—are found from small towns to major urban centers.  Over the last half century\, the model for the historic house museum has become both familiar and entrenched.  Today\, historic house museums are being challenged: to respond to changing audiences and interests of contemporary museum goers: to tell more complex—and difficult—histories; and to more fully represent the many and diverse communities and individuals that constitute our past and present. \nRe-Imagining the Historic House Museum brings together scholars\, professionals\, and provocateurs who are transforming historic house museums to tell new stories and create new visitor experiences.  This all-day event has two parts.  In the morning\, speakers will introduce their work and institutions in on-campus presentations.  In the afternoon\, pre-registered participants are invited to join a visit to Henry Ford’s Fair Lane Estate in Dearborn\, MI\, currently in the midst of an innovative renovation.  Attendees will be introduced to new approaches to historic house museums and have the opportunity for a rare behind-the-scenes look at work being undertaken in our own community. \n  \n8:30 am – 12:30 pm\, Michigan League (Koessler Room\, 3rd floor) \n  \nParticipants: \nElizabeth Chew\, Vice President for Museum Programs\, James Madison’s Montpelier \nLisa Yun Lee\, Executive Director\, National Public Housing Museum and Director\, School of Art and Art History\, University of Illinois\, Chicago \nMark Heppner\, Vice President for Historic Resources\, Historic Ford Estates \nFrank Vagnone\, co-author\, Anarchist’s Guide to Historic House Museums \nNancy Villa Bryk\,  Associate Professor\, Program in Historic Preservation\, Eastern Michigan University \n  \nPlease see the complete schedule\, presentation titles\, and participant biographies here. \n  \n* The bus to Fairlane Estate will leave from the Michigan League at 1:30 pm (The bus is fully reserved; if you have reserved a spot and must cancel\, please email ummsp@umich.edu to open your spot for someone else.) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:“Archives and Futures: A View from ‘the most distant place’”
DESCRIPTION:Shamil Jeppie\, University of Capetown\, South Africa \n\nMonday\, Feb 12\, 4-6pm\nRackham Amphitheatre\, 915 E. Washington\n\nPlease join us for a reception with Shamil Jeppie immediately following the lecture. \nThe Oxford English Dictionary describes Timbuktu as “the most distant place\,” a view that comes out of European explorations of West Africa and the challenges in reaching the place in the interior of the continent\, at the edges of the Sahara desert. Hardly anything was ever noted about Timbuktu’s place in a larger network of settlements with traditions of advanced literacy\, of scholars and scholastic manuscript book making and collecting. Centuries of learned activity were well-known among various local communities. Some settlements become more famous than others. “Timbuktu” somehow became the most famous name. But it was neither an invention nor without actual scholars. \nWhat can the ways these manuscript libraries were kept and conserved—but also dispersed and often destroyed—over the past century and more tell us about the place of archives from the period before European contact in parts of the African past? When and how do archives come to give us insight into more than experiences and conceptions of the past but ideas about the future? The recent attacks on cultural sites including libraries in and around Timbuktu provides an opportunity to ask questions about the constructions of collections and archives\, and their relation to writing about the past but also what they tell about visions of the future. These conflicts and the loss and hazardous movement of cultural artifacts and collections are far from over on the continent. \nShamil Jeppie is associate professor of history at the University of Cape Town and director of the Institute for Humanities in Africa. His research and publications focus on social and cultural history in South Africa and West Africa\, and he is founder of the Tombouctou Manuscripts Project\, which explores the formation of a culture of collecting in Timbuktu. His books include Language\, Identity\, Modernity: The Arabic Study Circle of Durban (2007)\, and the co-edited volumes The Meanings of Timbuktu (2008)\, Muslim Family Law in Sub-Saharan Africa: Colonial Legacies and Post-Colonial Challenges (2010)\, andToward New Histories for South Africa: On the Place of the Past in Our Present (2004). \n

SUMMARY:Museums of the Past into the Future: The Oriental Institute and the Kelsey Museum
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between: \nChris Woods\, Director\, Oriental Institute\, University of Chicago \nTerry G. Wilfong\, Director\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, U-M \n  \nThe Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan share similar backgrounds and histories. Founded in the prosperity of the 1920s as part of the wider-ranging projects of visionary scholars\, the two archaeological museums focus on an expansive program of investigation of the ancient history of the Mediterranean and Middle East. But these two museums have taken very different paths to the present and face different challenges for the future. The discussion will cover the history of these unique institutions as well as their present situations and future possibilities. \n  \nChristopher Woods is John A. Wilson Professor and Director of the Oriental Institute\, and member of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and the Program in the Ancient Mediterranean World at the University of Chicago. He received his BS from Yale University and his PhD in Assyriology from Harvard University and was a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows before joining the faculty of the University of Chicago. His research interests include Sumerian writing and language as well as early Mesopotamian religion\, literature\, and administration.  He is author of The Grammar of Perspective: The Sumerian Conjugation Prefixes as a System of Voice (Brill\, 2008)\, Materials for the Sumerian Lexicon (Volume 18) and is currently completing a monograph on early cuneiform writing\, The Origins and Development of Writing in Ancient Mesopotamia: A History\, 3500 — 2000 BCE. \n  \nTerry G. Wilfong is Director and Curator for Graeco-Roman Egypt at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan. Wilfong received his BA\, MA\, and PhD in Egyptology at the University of Chicago. As a scholar\, he has dedicated himself to the Kelsey Museum’s collections from the University’s 1924-1935 excavations of the Egyptian sites of Karanis\, Soknopaiou Nesos\, and Terenouthis\, sites chosen by the original excavators to illustrate daily life in Egypt in the Greek and Roman periods (c. 332 BCE – 641 CE). As a curator and museum director\, Wilfong has used these collections to address wider areas of archaeological inquiry\, including concepts such as gender\, sound\, childhood\, and fire. He has also supervised an ongoing series of contemporary art installations in which artists respond to the ancient material in the Kelsey’s collections. Wilfong has recently published two monographs on ancient Egyptian religion and practices relating to death and burial: Death Dogs: The Jackal Gods of Ancient Egypt (2015)\, and Life\, Death and Afterlife in Ancient Egypt: The Coffin of Djehutymose in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology (2012). \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Bicentennial \nWoods and Wilfong Announcement
