This chair is part of the research group and focuses on research, education, and public engagement related to cultural heritage from colonial contexts, with special attention to museums. Mirjam Shatanawi will hold the chair and work collaboratively with colleagues at Reinwardt.
Between 2025 and 2029, the chair will pursue three main goals: exchanging knowledge on colonial and contested heritage, promoting inclusive heritage practices, and strengthening international collaborations. International cooperation and knowledge exchange are central. The chair fosters dialogue among heritage professionals worldwide—between Europe and Asia, Africa, and South America, as well as within those regions.
The program will be publicly presented on Thursday, 13 November 2025, during the Reinwardt Lecture.
