Motivation and Evaluation of Outreach to Underserved Communities in Southwest Florida
Author(s): Rachael Kangas
Year: 2018
Summary
Public archaeology in southwest Florida comes with unique challenges and opportunities. The dominant population for the Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Southwest Region consists largely of retired wealthy white citizens, many of who call southwest Florida home year-round, others who flock here during the winter months. While this group dominates the region in terms of population, there is a significant part of the public who identify with one or more minority groups. FPAN Southwest is implementing simple quantitative and qualitative measures to operationalize our goal of better reaching these underserved communities. We hope this will create stronger bonds between our organization and local community, and help to better fulfil our mission of teaching all Floridians about archaeology in our great state.
