• Decolonising Archaeology and Classics: Methods and Approaches (June 2022 as part of the SGSAH Summer School)

Decolonising research is a central conversation that affects current practice in archaeology, classics, related disciplines and industries. This session will be led by invited speakers who will present their research and lead into a wider discussion of how PhD students challenge racist and colonialist legacies and develop more ethical approaches in their own research.
