Convenors: Sonia Archila (Colombia), Alejandra Korstanje (Argentina), and Juliana Salles Machado (Brazil)
This theme deals with the role of women in the production and practice of archaeology in the Global South, gender relations with heritage, extractivism/management of natural resources, and daily-life practices. Within this scope, we would like to draw attention to dissident voices and their political engagement in the practice of archaeology. We call for contributions on the role of gender in ancestral knowledge while engaging with the past, including landscape and territorial management, inhabiting and transforming monuments and significant and/or persistent places, we particularly welcome experiences with or by native women. We invite archaeologists to reflect on the diverse and particular relationships that women establish with other women while practicing archaeology, including but not limited to their engagement with local communities and native peoples, and how these relationships differentially affect their research. We are also looking for contributions on gender in the production of archaeological knowledge, its transmission, and appropriation through formal and informal education/socialisation programmes.
