This Theme draws together scholars, practitioners, and Indigenous leaders to engage in critical dialogue about the future of archaeology and heritage. The past, present and future are inextricably entwined with heritage, whether it\u2019s over issues of what heritage means, how it\u2019s valued, how best to interact with it, or how it should be cared for. The various dimensions of the practice of heritage and heritage management in the present, however, also intersect with deeply embedded economic and political interests that raise critical questions of ethical accountability, complicity, responsibility, and sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By centring Indigenous knowledges and ethics, confronting colonial legacies, questioning the extractive basis of much heritage work, and exploring alternative frameworks for practice, this Theme aims to push the discipline toward greater accountability and transformative change. Through cross-cultural and interdisciplinary discussions it hopes to forge meaningful global connections and inspire actionable steps toward a more just and equitable archaeology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussions will include how heritage places and objects contribute to social cohesion, individual and community social and cultural wellbeing, therapeutic practice, knowledge exchange, and new forms of engagement. Perhaps more importantly, however, it seeks to explore the role of archaeology and archaeologists in charting alternative pathways to new and different futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
