The form, physique and fitness of Educational Archaeology: is it working out?
Amanda Esterhuizen and Jeannette Smith
Educational Archaeology is rapidly taking shape. Yet how is it becoming manifest within different educational and archaeological contexts world wide? In some instances Educational Archaeology is taking on its own theory and methodology, and fast becoming a sub-discipline in its own right – this in turn gives rise to debates around the training of Educational Archaeologists. In other instances, archaeological content is merely inserted into educational activities, often to assuage the academics need to be publicly accountable, and Educational Archaeology does not have much form of its own.
This session calls for papers that deal with issues relating to:
theory and methodology, and its application within both archaeology and education
the training and qualifications of educational archaeologists
whether Educational Archaeology, in whatever form, grapples with questions about gender, ethnicity, class etc.
the motivation for doing Educational Archaeology; be it political. ethical or whimsical
