AWAWS was shocked and saddened to learn of the death last week of Professor Marguerite Johnson. She will be greatly missed by all in the AWAWS community and our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones at this difficult time.

Had a fantastic week in Auckland at #ASCS47 this year! I was privileged to present on the AWAWS sponsored panel ‘Home is Where the Hatred Is’ with Katherine Prouting and Meg Challis. Looking forward to the next one!

Join AWAWS at ASCS 47 for a lunchtime panel/workshop discussing the decolonisation of ancient history, indigenous heritage in museum spaces, and museum artefact repatriations! We hope to see you there!
