About Volkswagen Foundation Short-time Fellowships
The Volkswagen Foundation-funded research project “Sensitive Provenances” at the University of Göttingen studies the provenance of human remains from (proto-)colonial contexts in two collections.
This study looks into the origins of human remains, the circumstances surrounding their acquisition, their transfer to academic collections, their usage for research and teaching, and their present socio-political significance.
Along with research, the group contacts representatives from the locations where these human remains originate, addressing their future handling and commencing restitution proceedings.
The research is primarily concerned with human remains from Oceania and Africa.
The Sensitive Provenances project is interdisciplinary and incorporates multiple methodological methods from historical-critical provenance research, cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology.
Potential fellows in these and related topics are encouraged to explore and apply.
