CANCELED: AIA Zoom Lecture: Redemption for the Museum of the Bible

This event has unfortunately been CANCELED!

The College of Wooster is holding the annual Feinstone Lecture in the Archaeology of Israel.*  This year's lecture is "Redemption for the Museum of the BIble:  Artifacts, Provenance and Bias in the Contact Zone", presented by Morag Kersel.

The lecture will be held at the College of Wooster, but will be live streamed via Zoom. Oberlin College will host a viewing party in King 106 (snacks provided), or register for the event individually to receive the Zoom link.

Morag Kersel is the Associate Professor of Anthropology at DePaul University.  Professor Kersel is an archaeologist with a doctorate from the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge and a master of Historic Preservation from the University of Georgia. Her research interests include the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age of the eastern Mediterranean and Levant, cultural heritage protection, the built environment, object biographies, museums, and archaeological tourism. Her work combines archaeological, archival and oral history research in order to understand the efficacy of cultural heritage law in protecting archaeological landscapes from looting. 

Currently she is co-director of the Galilee Prehistory Project and the Follow the Pots Project - tracing the movement of Early Bronze Age pots from the Dead Sea Plain in Jordan.
