Jamie Oliver pulls 'offensive' children's book from sale:

Joe Biden formally apologises for Indian boarding schools YouTube video by Guardian News

US President Biden formally apologises to Native America and Native Hawai’i for Indian Residential Schools. Interesting contrast to the UK’s current refusal to apologise to commonwealth nations for slavery:

I’m an assistant professor in history working on 20th and 21st colonialism globally. I’m particularly interested in how violence has been performed and it’s materiality in museums and collections.
