Applied Archaeological Ethics: Inclusive Pedagogical Practices

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

As archaeologists, our ethical obligations include responsibly training future generations of practitioners. Oftentimes, we understand this responsibility as taking the form of training proper field methods, timely and complete reporting of data, and other aspects that deal specifically with the physical aspects of archaeology – artifacts, records, and sites. Increasingly, this has also included commitment to engaging communities in archaeological work – modelling for students how to do this kind of deep work. Less discussed are the means by which we instill these aspects of training to ensure that as broad a range of students as possible not only can see themselves in archaeology as well as can usefully understand and apply these skills within their own positionalities of the world. This paper specifically discusses how intentionally inclusive pedagogical practices are extensions of our applied ethical obligations as archaeologists as much as other aspects of training, and essential to the continued relevance of archaeology to the broader world.
