Programme to Practice: Public Archaeology Is Feminist Archaeology
Author(s): Kim Christensen; Jodi A. Barnes
Year: 2018
Summary
Margaret Conkey and Joan Gero published "Programme to Practice: Gender and Feminism in Archaeology" in 1997 to underscore the ways feminist critiques of science could transform the practice of archaeology. In this paper, we argue that their feminist critique profoundly shaped the practice of public archaeology. We explore the nature of scientific inquiry, multivocality, politics and collaborative forms of knowledge production, and the necessity of making interpretations more meaningful as linkages between feminist and public archaeologies.
