brief description:
volkswagen foundation’s 2022 fellowship applications are now open. the volkswagen-funded “sensitive source” project investigates the source of human remains from colonial (primary) contexts in two groups at the university of göttingen. this project aims to investigate the origin of human remains and the conditions for their acquisition and transfer to academic groups. moreover, their use of research and teaching as well as their contemporary social and political meanings. in addition to research, the project establishes contacts with representatives of the areas from which these human remains originate, discusses their future treatment and begins restitution.
the project focuses on human remains from oceania and africa. the sensitive assets project is multidisciplinary and combines different systematic approaches from critical historical source research, cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology. it welcomes inquiries and applications from potential colleagues in these and related areas.
