Zoom Lecture with Kendall Lovely, "A Virtual Curatorial Tour of Red Coral Stories: Reimagining Classical Pasts for Native Futures"

Kendall Lovely is a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She will be presenting "A Virtual Curatorial Tour of Red Coral Stories: Reimagining Classical Pasts for Native Futures". She studies the imposition of Classical Greco-Roman typologies and models on indigenous museum exhibits and anthropological studies.

Lovely's thesis in Museum Studies explored Classical influence within the construction of colonial representations of gender, especially in Southwest ethnology. As a Ph.D. student in Public History at UCSB, she is continuing these research inquiries toward decolonizing museum practices and the public interpretation of history in museum settings.

This virtual event is co-sponsored by James F. Brooks, Gable Distinguished Professor of History, the Institute of Native American Studies, and the UGA Classics Department.
