Dr Eva Namusoke

Eva’s current research project, ‘Afterlives of Return’, funded by Cambridge Humanities Research Grants and Isaac Newton Trust and Trinity College, is focused on a Cambridge to Kampala loan of Ugandan artefacts and explores what happens after return, how artefacts are (re)interpreted, and how the relationships around these returns are changed and sustained. Her wider work focusses on institutionalising the findings of the African Collections Futures report and supporting greater engagements for public and scholarly audiences with the African collections at Cambridge. She developed a tour in collaboration with Uncomfortable Cambridge, ‘African Legacies in Cambridge Museums’, which goes through The Fitzwilliam Museum, University Museum of Zoology, and Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
