Two months ago, the Collaboratory’s Narrating Nubia Project Grant team was represented at the 15th International Conference for Nubian Studies. This quadrennial conference was held in Poland at the University of Warsaw, 50 years after the first conference was held there in 1972.
Co-PI Geoff Emberling from U-M attended, along with project partners Anwar Ali and archaeologist Sami Elamin from Sudan, to present their paper titled “The Complexity of Collaboration in Postcolonial Archaeology: The Community Heritage Center at El-Kurru.” The team shared details on the Narrating Nubia blog, featuring first-hand reflections written by Anwar Ali—read the blog post.
