Archaeological Histories and Futures

Stanford Archaeology Center’s (SAC) 2016 workshop series will explore the theme of histories and futures, recognizing that social sciences research binds the past, present, and future together. It will interrogate the complex ways in which the past forms a referent for and influence in ancient and contemporary life, framed within an interdisciplinary milieu including archaeology, anthropology, classics, history, art history, environmental sciences, and area studies. While a variety of methods, regional foci, and subject matter are included, the series will pay particular attention to emergent agendas of cultural networks and diaspora, heritage, identity and lived experience, and materiality. It will consist primarily of weekly colloquia held throughout the 2016-2017 academic year, involving an array of Stanford faculty and students as well as a selection of outstanding scholars from other institutions whose work is particularly relevant to our academic community.
