Hello everyone,
I am organizing a session at the 2024 SHA conference on critical
archaeologies of whiteness. The session focuses on the study of white
racial identities in the past and, ideally, how this research can be used
to subvert understandings of whiteness in the present. The abstract is
below. If anyone would be interested in presenting in the session you can
get in touch with me at [log in to unmask]
Thanks and I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend,
Matt Greer
*Critical Archaeologies of Whiteness*
Historical archaeologists have long studied race, but most of this work has
focused on people of color while omitting people racialized as white. This
treatment inadvertently normalizes whiteness by positioning it outside of
discussions of racial identities instead of approaching white people as
racialized individuals who actively participated in perpetuating racist
hierarchies that benefited them in a myriad of ways. This session provides
case studies that critically explore whiteness in the past and, ideally,
how archaeology can be used to subvert understandings of whiteness in the
present.
