ANTI-RACIST, ANTI-IMPERIALIST ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES

Crowdsourced Online Educational Archaeology Resources for teachers and students

AIA Webinars: Critical Conversations On Race, Teaching, And Antiquity Perhaps geared more toward faculty, this set of three free webinars include several speakers whose writing I highly recommend. I’m looking forward to these events and would be excited to discuss them after with anyone who chooses to attend. The series launches on August 13th at 10 PT with: Webinar 1: Decolonizing Syllabi In The Archaeology And History Of The Mediterranean Region.

“Challenging Racism in Archaeology” In this essay, posted online in December of 2017 in The Post Hole, then Editor-in-Chief Daniel Gronow records the points discussed during a seminar chaired by Tabitha Kabora. The essay serves as a good introduction to issues relevant to thinking about racism in archaeology both historically and today.

So many excellent blog posts, videos, and resources on the Everyday Orientalism website.
