Berkeley Art, Law, and Finance Project: Justice Unearthed—Tim Carpenter on The Grave Robber

Join us for a conversation with Tim Carpenter, former FBI Lead Investigator on the Art Crime Team and author of The Grave Robber, joined by Sharon Cohen Levin, partner at Sullivan & Cromwell. The discussion will be moderated by Delia Violante.

Carpenter shares the inside story of one of the largest cultural property cases in FBI history—the recovery of over 42,000 artifacts and nearly 500 ancestral remains from a single Midwestern home. His account reveals the complex work of repatriating stolen heritage to Indigenous and international communities, and what it means to restore not just objects, but dignity. CLE credit available.
