Decolonizing Archaeology

“I think decolonizing archeology, and even decolonizing academia, is understanding and looking at the different ways of knowing… To really gain a full understanding of an event in time is to have those different perspectives.” Becky Mearns, Dean of Education at the Inuit and University Studies at Nunavut Arctic College, defines what decolonizing archeology looks like.
We’re grateful to be able to bring a diversity of experts on expedition to contribute to our education program from a variety of perspectives and ways of knowing.
