Inclusivity and the Pedagogy of Archaeology 2015 Live Event Videography

Presentations from the Inclusivity and the Pedagogy of Archaeology 2015.

Session organisers: Katy Bell (University of Winchester) and Ellen McInnes (University of Manchester) “If you have decided to become an archaeologist you will need a reasonable education in archaeology” (http://archaeology.about.com/od/gettingtraining/) begins one career advice website. In this session we will argue that the pedagogy of archaeology goes beyond the practice of preparing the archaeologists of the future. As an inclusive discipline archaeology attracts a wide range of people who use the subject as a transition between points. This session explores this role of archaeology within Higher Education and the community, alongside, and as part of, strategies of teaching and engagement. Confirmed papers look at the inclusion of people with Asperger’s Syndrome in Higher Education, and the development of Higher Education teaching. However, the session aims to include a variety of examples of where the inclusive nature of archaeology, as both a subject and practice, has encouraged academic, personal, and community development. Papers are encouraged, which consider how new and innovative ways of teaching facilitate the development of participants and allow them to make a transition, be it socially, mentally or financially.

What we did:

Live Event Videography – we recorded each presentation, edited the recordings and then published them so that we increased the reach, impact and accessibility of the event.
