DESCRIPTION:For Caribbean historians and heritage professionals\, engaging
  with the region’s heritage has been challenging on many fronts. Heritag
 e in the Caribbean is deeply contested as archives\, monuments\, and colle
 ctions remain fragmented across the Atlantic\, while oral traditions\, mus
 ic\, and ritual offer alternative ways of transmitting memory. These forms
  often sit uneasily together\, shaped by pressures of erasure\, commodific
 ation\, and climate vulnerability.\nThis seminar discusses the complex rel
 ationship between Caribbean history\, heritage\, and the possibilities of 
 repair in the wake of slavery’s legacies. Arguing\, that repair must mov
 e beyond symbolic gestures\, the seminar explores opportunities for collab
 orative research\, capacity building\, and community access as pathways to
  repair. Grounded in professional ethics\, heritage work must benefit desc
 endant communities and strengthen trans-Atlantic scholarly networks precis
 ely at a moment when climate change and digital technologies are reshaping
  preservation.\n\nJoin the talk on Teams at this link: https://teams.micro
