Acquisition Disorder

Claim

Acquisition Disorder is a 3-part mini series about board games, museum practice and colonial histories and legacies. 

What do two archaeologists think of the game Archaeology, The New Expedition? What can we learn from a curator of Industrial History, and an Indian Professor when they sit down to play Ticket to Ride India together? How does the game Papua reflect past museum practices and colonial violences? A natural science and a community curator spill the beans.

Host Izzy Bartley, researcher at the University of Leeds and Digital Learning Officer at Leeds Museums and Galleries, is joined by special guests to discuss and critique a selected board game, link to related museum artefacts, the stories they hold, and wider histories from Britain’s imperial past. 

 So join Izzy and their guests as they roll dice, shuffle cards and above all, geek out over great conversations.
