Introduction to Symposium: Collaborative and Community Engaged Scholarship and Case Studies

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This presentation is an introduction to our ninth symposium on “Collaborative and Community Engaged Scholarship (CES)”—an important topic in our profession, encompassing a growing diversity of activities and best practices. Conducting research (and other types of historic preservation endeavors) in effective partnership with a wide spectrum of stakeholders just makes sense, is only fair, and contributes greatly to the final product. Community involvement and participation is a way not only to give a voice to groups that have been essentially voiceless but to empower all players—especially on projects that involve “multiple pasts.” Soliciting other views and asking for input is appropriate. More and more often there are real opportunities for community members (and I mean the whole community: indigenous, ancestral, recent residents, landowners, politicos, educators, etc.) to become involved in projects in really meaningful ways.
