As part of the University of Helsinki’s Chair of Archaeology Speaker Series ‘Archaeological Encounters’, Suzie Thomas is giving a public lecture on Wednesday 27th March.

The abstract for her talk, titled ‘Trafficking Culture: Measuring the global traffic in cultural objects’ is:

‘Trafficking Culture’ aims to produce an evidence-based picture of the contemporary global trade in looted cultural objects. This research programme is based at the University of Glasgow, UK, and is funded by the European Research Council. As part of this larger global interdisciplinary project, Suzie Thomas is looking at regulatory practice in the Baltic region and its impact on the movement of cultural objects. In this presentation, she talks about her own research and provides an overview to the Trafficking Culture project as a whole.

The talk is open to all, and is free of charge. It takes place at Unioninkatu 38, sali D112, from 4pm. There is also a poster which can be viewed here.
