We’re thrilled that @profdanhicks.bsky.social will be a keynote speaker at the SHP Summer Conference this year (July 10-12, Leeds Trinity University). His books The Brutish Museums & Every Monument Will Fall challenge us to think critically about empire, museums, & the stories we choose to preserve.
