Webinar: Fugitive Archaeological Spaces

Watch it now! Fugitive Archaeological Spaces, the next installment in the monthly series From the Margins to the Mainstream.

Over the past year, we have seen renewed organizing amongst Black and Indigenous heritage professionals as well as the emergence of new collectives globally. These efforts have led to new initiatives around capacity building, community engagement, and decolonizing research methodologies. In this panel members of these new and emerging organizations will discuss their genesis, initiatives, as well as challenges and opportunities associated with empowering their communities in archaeology and heritage preservation.
