Dear Histarchers,
We are happy to announce a call for papers for an SHA session on the use of
intersectionality in archaeology and how this informs contemporary social
justice struggles. This is for the 2017 SHA conference in Fort Worth,
Texas. We are hoping to find a few more papers to complete the session. We
are interested in papers that address diverse contexts from around the
globe.
If you know of someone who may be interested, please pass this call for
papers along.
Thanks,
Stefan Woehlke and Megan Springate

*Intersectionality as Emancipatory Archaeology*
Intersectionality emerged from Black feminist theory as a way to understand
and challenge hegemonic power structures within society. At the foundation
of this approach is an understanding that oppressive systems of power
impact and interact with one another, forming a matrix of domination. There
are two main goals for this session. The first is to highlight the ways in
which archaeology can aid in the analysis of intersecting power relations
as they emerge over extended periods of time. We also want to show how an
intersectional archaeology can help inform contemporary strategies to
dismantle historical systems of oppressive power relations, and contribute
to social justice and equality.
We are looking for papers that analyze a wide variety of contexts in order
to show that an intersectional archaeology can inform diverse struggles for
social justice and equality.
Thank You.
