SUMMARY:How Chemists Investigate Cultural Heritage: A Look at the Science a
 nd Ethics
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThird Annual Spotlight Talk by Thiago Sevilhano Puglieri\, 
 Assistant Professor of Technical Art History\, Conservation Science\, and 
 Indigenous Cultural Heritage\, UCLA Department of Art History\n\nThis talk
  will explore how and why chemists investigate cultural heritage\, examini
 ng the diverse ethical considerations that arise with different types of c
 ultural items. The session will also feature an in-person demonstration of
  chemical analysis of objects from the Clark collection.\n\nWe will begin
  by exploring objects from the Clark Library to discuss common analytical 
 questions\, processes\, and ethics in conservation and heritage science. T
 he discussion will then shift to the investigation of Indigenous items\, h
 ighlighting other questions\, processes\, and unique ethical consideration
 s these items demand.\n\nThe lecture will conclude with a hands-on sessio
 n where participants can observe the analysis of objects from the Clark c
 ollection. This will provide an opportunity to better understand some of t
 he practices and ask specific questions about this fascinating interdiscip
 linary field.\n\nThiago Puglieri’s teaching and research are located at 
 the intersections of art history\, chemistry\, and conservation. His inter
 ests are in technical art history and conservation science\, focusing on I
 ndigenous cultural heritage from the Americas. His projects delve into the
  historical and cultural aspects while also exploring scientific and techn
 ological advancements within Indigenous cultures. The investigations invol
 ve archival research\, chemical characterizations\, and engagement with In
 digenous communities through community-engaged research. Puglieri teaches 
 and supervises students at the UCLA Department of Art History and the UCLA
 /Getty Interdepartmental Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage.
 \n\nPuglieri was a scholar at the Getty Research Institute (GRI\, 2024–2
 025)\, visiting researcher at the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI\, 2019
 –2020)\, member of the international advisory committee of the project 
 “An International Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science” from N
 ICAS (Netherlands Institute for Conservation\, Art\, and Science)\, vice p
 resident of ANTECIPA (National Association of Research in Heritage Science
  and Technology\, Brazil)\, and coordinator of the division “Investigati
 on of Materials\, Systems\, and Techniques” of the “Technical Commissi
 on for Cultural Heritage” of ABENDI (Brazilian Association of Non-Destru
 ctive Testing and Inspection).\n\nPrior to joining the Department of Art H
 istory at UCLA\, he was a professor at the Department of Museology\, Conse
 rvation\, and Restoration of the Federal University of Pelotas (Brazil\, 2
 015–2022)\, where he was teaching and advising students in the Graduate 
 Program of Social Memory and Cultural Heritage.\n\n\n\nThe lecture is free
