Faculty Member Elizabeth Kadetsky Publishes Essay on Stolen Antiquities

Congratulations to creative writing professor Elizabeth Kadetsky, whose essay “The Goddess Complex” was recently published in the March 2, 2023, issue of American Scholar. As the magazine explains: “A set of revered stone deities was stolen from a temple in northwestern India; their story can tell us much about our current reckoning with antiquities trafficking.”  Professor Kadetsky has pursued this research across two Fulbright Fellowships to India, and she has been a clear and thoughtful voice on an issue that is gaining a great deal of traction in the antiquities art world.
