Things You Can't Take Back

.
I must admit I've not been on the 'Things You Can't Take Back' blog for a while, and dropped in this evening and can recommend a visit. There are some interesting things there by Meg, a student at Bennington College concentrating in anthropology and art history. She subtitles this resource as: The illicit antiquities trade and other cultural heritage issues. By a mouthy youth. For the mouthy youth. Her aims for blogging are set out in a bit more detail here:

Until now, there has been no discernible widespread effort by college students to promote awareness or incite activism to curb a trade that is inextricably connected to our own lives, from the museums we visit to the terrorism we hear or experience every day. There are unique opportunities for college students to become specially involved in curbing the illicit antiquities trade through campus activism, volunteering, internships, our vote, and our future careers. This blog seeks to fill the huge gap in the existing blogosphere and informational sources in order to enable college students to find the information they need to help prevent making our history and archaeology degrees totally irrelevant.

It is good to have such bright and articulate individuals on our side. Please support Meg's blog.
