Amy Shakespeare is an International Repatriation Specialist based in Cornwall, England.

As an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded PhD Researcher at the University of Exeter,Amy's research aims to enable more UK museums to undertake repatriation through more anticolonial processes. She also focuses on how repatriation is interpreted for the public, and what is left behind following return.

Following a Smithsonian Fellowship at the National Museum of the American Indian, Amy founded Routes to Return - a website that aims to open up global networks, share information, and enable international repatriation. Amy is currently working for the Association on American Indian Affairs developing and implementing their International Repatriation Strategy. She also sits on the board of the Museum Ethnographers Group as their Repatriation Officer.
