Hello HistArch,

Christina Hodge and I are organizing a session on multiple/intersectional identities at the next SAA’s (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, March 29 - April 2, 2017), titled Gender, Race, and other Consequential Categories: Experiments in Intersectional Archaeology. We welcome statements of interest and feedback!

As the title suggests, we are more interested in approach than subject, and we embrace an exploratory mindset for discussion and debate. A link to the session abstract is below. Among other concerns, we wonder: what do archaeology and intersectional theory offer each other? And, what are the boundaries of intersectionality’s application in our field? 

We invite those explicitly experimenting with intersectional theory, as well as those considering covalent identities through other frameworks.

The session abstract and online discussion can be found at: https://www.academia.edu/s/b9055812f2

Please contact us for more information or to express interest.
