Archaeology to Transform and Disrupt: Teaching, Learning, and the Pedagogies of the Future

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Archaeology to Transform and Disrupt: Teaching, Learning, and the Pedagogies of the Future" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In 2007 Burke and Smith published "Archaeology to Delight and Instruct: Active Learning in the University Classroom," a groundbreaking book on teaching and learning archaeology through creative, inclusive, and novel teaching activities for students of archaeology in higher education. In this session, we celebrate the legacies of this book and invite papers that think about teaching and learning in archaeology and heritage today, encouraging participants to reflect on how teaching and learning can and does challenge the status quo. We are particularly interested in new innovations in teaching and learning, particularly where they challenge inequalities, support climate resilience, and break down boundaries. We invite papers from all career stages, including the experiences of students. This will be a nonjudgmental and safe space to discuss challenges, successes, and the future of teaching and learning in archaeology and heritage in universities and beyond. Papers are invited from across the globe, and we welcome discussions of teaching in any setting, from classrooms to more practical spaces such as the field and labs.
