World Archaeological congress talk prizes data

In this talk at the World Archaeological Congress my colleagues and I examine how women’s career progression and success is hindered by bias in professional archaeology.

The talk was part of the session “Archaeology While Female: The Challenges of Bias, Inequity and Backlash for Women in Professional Archaeology” I co-organised, as part of the broader theme Exploring Intersectionalities: Women in Archaeology.

Our session on Remaking History explored the archaeological contributions of women from past to present.
