There has been some scholarship on the relationship between repatriation and reconciliation, much of which is concerned with the connection between repatriation and healing (e.g. Hemming et al. 2020, Krmpotich 2014, Thornton 2002, Western Apache 2020). Wellbeing is an essential component of reconciliation and recent work draws upon research into cultural trauma, collective memory, and identity construction. There is emergent but much less work on the concept of\u00a0<em>dignity<\/em>\u00a0as an essential value in the repatriation process, and how the (re)establishment of\u00a0<em>dignified relationships,\u00a0<\/em>can be a driver of a transformation process inherent to peace-building, and which is sometimes embedded in handover ceremonies. This observation has been made by experienced community repatriation researchers and practitioners. In many ways, dignity and peace stand at the heart of the repatriation movement, although the repatriation community writ large has yet to explore what can be learned about repatriation when considered from these perspectives. This session invites original and reflective papers that can advance understanding of the relationship between Repatriation, Dignity, and Peace-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Papers:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Format: Paper presentations with discussion Organisers:&nbsp;Prof. Cressida Fforde, Return Reconcile Renew Centre, Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, The Australian National University, Australia,&nbsp;cressida.fforde@anu.edu.au Edward Halealoha Ayau, Executive Director,&nbsp;Hui&nbsp;Iwi&nbsp;Kuamo\u2019o, Hilo, Hawaii, USA,&nbsp;halealohahapai64@gmail.com Neil Carter, Gidji\/Gooniyandi, Return Reconcile Renew Centre, Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, The Australian National University, Australia This session invites papers on the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1157,"featured_media":276,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-6805","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"pmpro-has-access","7":"czr-hentry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6805"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7111,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6805\/revisions\/7111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
