Summary:The papers selected for this special issue of Museum and Society have their beginnings in the workshop, ‘Colonial Governmentalities’, held in late October 2012 and hosted by the Institute of Culture and Society, University of Western Sydney, followed by the seminar ‘Reassembling the material,’ hosted by the Museum and Heritage Studies programmes at Victoria University of Wellington in early November.
