Joukowsky Archaeology Lecture: “Teaching (and Curating) Ancient Egypt with Empathy and Care”

Please join us for an in-person lecture by Jen Thum (Harvard Art Museums).

Egyptology and museums have come a long way in terms of ethical stewardship. Join Egyptologist and museum educator, Dr. Thum, for an interactive look at ancient Egyptian artifacts in the care of the Harvard Art Museums that have been the focus of recent efforts to center ancient personhood, course-correct for unsavory past practices, and upend stereotypes about the ancient world. Be forewarned that audience members will be encouraged to look closely and weigh-in on what they see and think.

This event is free and open to the public.
