Zahava D. Doering
Zahava D. Doering, a University of Chicago trained sociologist, has had many years experience in social science research and studies in museums and educational institutions. In 1987, she was the founding director of the Institutional Studies Office (ISO), now part of the Office of Policy and Analysis at the Smithsonian Institution (SI). Doering’s museum activities include serving as Editor of Curator: The Museum Journal, past co-chair of AAM’s Committee on Audience Research and Evaluation (CARE), active participation in the Visitor Studies Association (VSA) and pro bono Research and Evaluation consultant to the Council of American Jewish Museums (CAJM) and its member museums.

From Edward Rothstein at The New York Times:

“Iron Chink” proclaims the raised words on a cast-iron sign, once mounted on a fish-processing machine. In the early 1900s in Seattle the machine had been invented to replace Chinese laborers, who presumably were constructed of weaker mettle.

Now, of course, its casual slur inspires some shock. It is a companion piece to another object, a cap-gun toy from the 1880s, when the “Chinese Question” (as objections to Chinese immigration was called) turned violent: pull the trigger, and a suited gentleman kicks a braided Chinese man in the rear, setting off the miniature explosion.

The Federal Government says it will overhaul the processes for the repatriation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remains and cultural material from international institutions to make them more inclusive of Indigenous aspirations. Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin announced on Friday that the Government would establish a new International Repatriation Advisory Committee to steer the review.

Ms Macklin said she would call for expressions of interest and the committee would be appointed in September.

“The committee will advise the Government on a range of issues, including reviewing current international repatriation policy and finding a more effective way to deliver on international repatriation,” she said.

The development came at the International Conference on the Inclusive Museum held at the University of Queensland (UQ) in Brisbane on Friday, just before a panel of Indigenous people from the Torres Strait, the Kimberley, Groote Eylandt and South Australia shared some of their experiences of repatriation.
