A community mentorship and networking night intended for 杏吧原创 University undergrad history students to meet with and hear some of the stories of others trained in history, now working as professionals in various fields of work. Four speakers will each share stories of their career trajectory and how their training in history helped them achieve their goals. This will be followed by a \u2018speed dating\u2019 session when students will have an opportunity to speak with these individuals in small groups, ask questions and learn more about the wide range of opportunities that are potentially open to history students. Those who attend will learn new perspectives of what they can do with their history degree and potentially build connections with those out in the world of work \u2018beyond the academy\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 12, 2018 – Shannon Lecture with Donna Yates, \u201cAncient Art and Modern Crime: How Stolen Antiquities End Up In Our Most Respected Museums\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The History Department invites you to the first talk of the 2018 Shannon Lecture Series at 2:30pm in 252 MacOdrum Library. A reception will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture abstract<\/em>: In 2011 a visitor walked into the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and stole a 2500-year-old relief of a guard\u2019s head valued at over $1.2 mil. In July of 2018, the New York Supreme court ordered that the sculpture, which had been seized by the District Attorney of New York from a London-based antiquities dealer, be returned to Iran. How the artefact was stolen from the famous archaeological site of Persepolis and ended up in Canada, and what happened after the piece was stolen again give us a glimpse of the dark underbelly of the art world. This is where high culture meets smuggling, desire, greed, and white collar crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our most respected museums house stolen antiquities. High-end auction houses and antiquities dealers sell loot on a daily basis. Upstanding and elite citizens freely engage in this criminal market. But unlike with most illegal commodities, trafficked antiquities can be openly bought and sold, and are often put on public display. How is this possible? Using the Persepolis relief as a case study, this lecture will discuss how research from criminology can be used to understand white collar crime in the art world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 12, 2018 \u2013 Tear Gas Epiphanies: Protest, Culture, Museums<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Guest Lecture by Dr. Kirsty Robertson, Western University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk, drawn from a forth coming book of the same title, traces the as-yet-untold story of political action at museums in Canada since the early twentieth century. Robertson looks at how museums archive (or not) protest actions, and at a range of responses to actions taking place at their thresholds, from active encouragement to persuasive dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirsty will be delivering a lunch time talk on political action at Canadian museums, titled: Tear Gas Epiphanies: Protest, Culture Museums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: noon to 1:30pm, Friday, October 12th<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: Richcraft Hall, 4400 (Reader\u2019s Digest Resource Centre)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
