On March 13th and 14th, DePaul University hosted a conference titled, “Navigating Justice in Cultural Heritage: Intersections of Ethics, Law, and Museum Practice.” The conference was organized by the DePaul University College of Law’s Center for Art, Museum and Cultural Heritage Law (CAMCHL), the DePaul University Museum Studies Minor and the DePaul University Department of Anthropology, with the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield (USCBS) as co-sponsor. USCBS Board members and supporters both attended and spoke at this event.

USCBS would like to thank all those who attended the conference; those who spoke and shared their work with attendees; special guests, Max Scriwanek and Samuel Arco; and all who continue to support USCBS’ mission and the protection of cultural property. Special thanks to DePaul University for hosting this special event and to Brett Davinger for ensuring every detail was covered.
