Module description听

This final year module asks听students to draw on their knowledge and experience to reflect upon the relevance and impact of archaeology and heritage work for wider public debates about the past, present and future. We will explore how archaeology can shape vital questions about how to protect our world and care for its people. This includes critical thinking on how archaeology has created, influenced and challenged 鈥渂ig themes鈥� and 鈥済rand challenges鈥�, and the responsibilities and opportunities that come with this.

Students will explore how their archaeological knowledge can reach wider public audiences, and understand how it can inform significant, impact driven, questions relating for example to social justice, migration, climate change, conflict and future making. They will gain valuable skills in communicating their knowledge in an accessible and relatable way, using different media including writing, social media, and audio storytelling.听
