Call for Papers: Imperial Artefacts (Leiden)

At 28 and 29 January 2021, Dr Inge van Hulle (Tilburg University) and Dr Diana M. Natermann (Leiden University) will organize a conference titled ''Imperial Artefacts: History, Law, and the Looting of Cultural Property''.

This interdisciplinary conference aspires to bring together (post-)colonial historians,
legal historians, curators, international lawyers, and others engaged with the field to establish research collaborations by critically investigating stories of colonial looting, the framing of colonial history within museums, the origins of the legal framework concerning European laws of war and restitution, as well as a way forward for restitution claims.

PLEASE NOTE: depending on how the current Covid-19 situation unfolds come winter, this conference may ultimately be scheduled online or be postponed to a later date in 2021.
