Books & Bagels

Join Vice Provost Danielle Macdonald as she discusses her new book Learning Archeology: A Problem Based Approach.  This new textbook brings together case studies drawn from real archaeological research so students can understand (and wrestle with) how archaeology is practiced, the kinds of questions that can be addressed with archaeological data (and their limits) and the often contested place of the discipline in the modern world. Each chapter is authored by different experts who bring their own perspective to the field, providing a comprehensive view of archaeological method and an understanding of the role that archaeological knowledge has in contemporary society.

This Books & Bagels talk will explore how academic research can be used as a way to engage students with hand-on experiential learning through classroom activities and discussion.
