So grateful to @NatHistGirl and Professor Divya Tolia-Kelly for their insightful talks for us today @MCH for #MGHEdges. Both of them touched on the difficulty in embedding and funding #decolonial practice long term and thinking about the power relations therein

#MGHEdges what would a post-imperial museum look like? What would post-imperial taxonomies feel like? How can we disrupt imperial ways of seeing? Key questions to think about #decolonising museums by Prof. Divya Tolia-Kelly @ICCHSNewcastle @mch_newcastle

Super excited that our 'Museums/Galleries/Heritage (Studies) From the Edges' series starts tomorrow. What a way to start, with Miranda Lowe (@MuseumDetox) and Divya Tolia-Kelly joining us. Check out tomorrows session details below, and follow us using the #MGHEdges tag.

Giving this another plug as the first seminar in our series 'M/G/H (Studies) from the Edges' takes place a week today! With papers from @NatHistGirl and Divya Tolia-Kelly -- we can't wait! @mch_newcastle @ICCHSNewcastle @D_FarrellBanks @EricaRobenalt @megtodman

Really enjoyed the thought provoking work @Casco_Utrecht and BAK yesterday. BAK asks ‘How to be together otherwise’ with both thinking deeply about the communal.

Great visit to @Savannah_Bay in Utrecht yesterday with @CharlFarrell and @EricaRobenalt. The oldest (and apparently last surviving dedicated) feminist bookshop in the Netherlands. We all got a bit carried away.
