Greetings,

I am organizing a session on the archaeology of reform sites (loosely
defined) for the 2013 SHA in England. I'm looking for additional
presenters and a discussant; please contact me if you are interested.

Archaeology of Reform Sites and Archaeology as a Site of Reform

Loosely defined, reform sites are places associated with the main purpose
of reforming or bettering those they serve or society at large. They
include schools, churches, protest sites, women’s holiday houses, homes of
reformers, etc. This session explores similarities and differences across
various types of reform sites and through time and discusses the various
ways that reform processes and experiences manifest in the archaeological
record. This session also explores how the archaeology of reform sites can
itself be considered reformative in the context of today’s society.

Regards,
Megan.
