Dr. Phillip Cantrell of the Dept. of History has recently published an essay titled “A Lost Opportunity for Congo: The Renovation of the Africa Museum and the Perils of Public Funding for World History.” The essay appeared in December in the World History Bulletin (XXXV, no. 2 (2019): 34-36) and discusses the renovations made to the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium in regards to the presentation of Congolese colonial history. The research for the essay was funded in part by a Faculty Development Grant.
