‘Somehow I failed to clock her magnificence’: was the world’s first literary hero a woman? For centuries, Gilgamesh has been thought of as the world’s oldest literary hero – but does that title rightfully belong to the ancient goddess Inanna? theguardian.com/books/2023/aug…
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: The Daily Collegian will receive a 100% funding cut by 2024-25 psucollegian.com/news/campus/le…
I wrote about a stolen goddess in the Metropolitan Museum, the Cambodian site from which she came, and different ways of experiencing art and the divine (and also the bones of kings, drag shows, and dust mops): lrb.co.uk/blog/2023/july…

NER nonfiction editor @ekadetsky talks with @Isolotaroff, author of "A Hole in Time: Memories of an Upper West Side Childhood" (44.1), about living among the literary intelligentsia, writing of his relationship with his father, Ted Solotaroff, & more. nereview.com/?p=51976
@ekadetsky: "Removing [loot] from the museums is a satisfying corrective, but it doesn't address reparations to the harmed communities, the long-term effects of the crimes, how to care for the sculptures once they depart, and where and with whom the sculptures belong today.”
@ekadetsky: "Removing [loot] from the museums is a satisfying corrective, but it doesn't address reparations to the harmed communities, the long-term effects of the crimes, how to care for the sculptures once they depart, and where and with whom the sculptures belong today.”
The Met Museum has launched a new webpage about their repatriations. As usual, they claim they’re the proactive heroes of returning stolen heritage… but they have added this caveat, which feels like a personal “ok, ok, Erin, sometimes it’s you!”
Cheers to NER nonfiction editor Elizabeth Kadetsky (@ekadetsky), whose essay "The Goddess Complex" is the cover story over @TheAmScho! Read it here: theamericanscholar.org/the-goddess-co…
This is what happens when you don't know even the basics . This isn't the restituted Sripuranthan Nataraja #BringOurGodsHome
Congratulations to @ekadetsky on the cover story in @TheAmScho based on her work funded by one of our Research in Democracy Support Grants. We're grateful to our donors for allowing us to support such important work! theamericanscholar.org/the-goddess-co…
Several months ago, a stone goddess was seized from the @metropolitanmuseum by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, part of its effort to crack down on decades of pernicious art looting. @ekadetsky traces the path of the goddess and her counterparts: theamericanscholar.org/the-goddess-co…
In our new issue, @ekadetsky tracks stolen statues from India to some of the world’s most prominent museums, Matthew Denton-Edmundson suggests a new course for the animal rights movement, and @CaitrionaLally reveals the phantoms of living with tinnitus. theamericanscholar.org/issues/spring-…
How did the Tanesar sculptures—a set of stone deities looted from an Indian temple sometime in the early 1960s—end up scattered in Western art collections like @ClevelandArt, @LACMA, @AllenArtMuseum, and the @britishmuseum? @ekadetsky investigates: theamericanscholar.org/the-goddess-co…
“Today, the shortsightedness of the past is often invoked to contextualize the open secret of museum-bound loot in the 1960s and ’70s,” writes @ekadetsky. Included in that loot are the Tanesar sculptures—deities stolen from an Indian temple decades ago. theamericanscholar.org/the-goddess-co…

An interview in which I talk about how public opinion about looted artifacts has changed, worry about the line between activism and expertise, and curse like a drunken sailor:
As a professor of art crime, Erin L. Thompson uses her law degree and a PhD in art history to teach and report on looted antiquities, art forgery techniques, museum thefts, and much more. artnews.com/art-news/issue…
Good thoughts appreciated today. My son has to fly unaccompanied to visit his other parent. He's done it before and is an experienced traveler, but I always feel worried and sad.
I was reading old annual reports of the American Museum of Natural History to research their collection of human remains, but when I spotted “Wounded Knee” on a list of donations, I knew I had to check if they had gone back. They haven’t. Here’s the story so far:
New: A Prominent Museum Obtained Items From a Massacre of Native Americans in 1895. The Survivors’ Descendants Want Them Back. propublica.org/article/wounde…
And also check out @ZacharyHSmall in the New York Times today - they found out an incredible amount of information about the bodies of Black and/or enslaved New Yorkers held by the museum: x.com/ZacharyHSmall/…
The American Museum of Natural History has the remains of 400 dead New Yorkers from the 1940s. Medical schools gave them to the curator Harry Shapiro, a leading eugenicist at the time. Experts said the transfer might have been illegal. That's not all...🧵 nytimes.com/2023/10/15/art…
The American Museum of Natural History holds the remains of 12,000 people from around the world. Most of them are Indigenous. I've spent a year learning the horrifying stories of how these bones got to New York - including talking to a man who found his grandfather in the museum:

Walking past this military building in Rome, I noticed the concrete they used to cover up the inscription running along the top of their building is starting to flake off…
I had a great time talking to Michael Finkel about museum collections formed through theft, the peepshow as a possible ideal model for experiencing paintings, and what happens when your interview subject starts crying:
Holy Moly! My daughter just spotted I now seem to have 1.2 million followers on Twitter or X or whatever its now called. Thank you all for showing an interest!
