Donna Yates to partner with ICOM-Bolivia

03 Apr 2013

We are pleased to report that the Bolivian Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) will be serving as the host institution for the duration of Donna Yates’ Fulbright-funded field research. We believe that this will be a mutually beneficial partnership and look forward to interesting results.

Donna will be conducting fieldwork on the impact of national and international regulatory efforts on Bolivian communities that deal with issues of antiquities looting. At the moment she is looking into issues of security, autonomisation, community heritage management, community justice, and church looting. She will be in Bolivia in July and August of 2013 and will conduct followup research visits in 2014 and 2015.
