Copenhagen Hosts Workshop on Ethics in Caribbean Archaeology
IN THE SAME SEA Postdoctoral Fellow Felicia Fricke and her colleagues Eduardo Herrera Malatesta (Århus University, Denmark) and Maaike de Waal (Leiden University, The Netherlands) are hosting a workshop this week at the University of Copenhagen. The hybrid event will host 30 attendees, some in person and some online, from across Europe and the Americas, for four days of working towards a more ethical archaeology of the Caribbean. The concrete tasks include peer reviewing a position paper on ethics in Caribbean archaeology, developing a website for a network of ethically engaged researchers, building an online qualification in archaeology that will be free for Caribbean students, and designing a videogame to reach younger audiences. The workshop also includes keynote speeches by Rachel Watkins (American University) and Priscilla Ulguim (Free University Brussels).
This workshop is a follow-up event to the workshop ‘Ethics in Caribbean Archaeology: Past, Present, and Future’ that took place at the Lorentz Center (Leiden, The Netherlands) in November 2023.
It is generously funded by the European Research Council, Marie Skłodowska Curie Action, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation, and the Center for Modern European Studies at the University of Copenhagen.
