Scholars from different backgrounds will share their ideas about the meaning and relevance of decolonial theory in archaeology and heritage.
The conference brings together a diverse range of scholars active in different parts of the world to discuss the relevance and meaning of decolonial theory in archaeology. Decoloniality is essentially practice, but discussing its underlying theoretical aspects is key to defining strategies for the future. There will be discussions on themes such as Indigeneity and the meanings of enslavement in the Americas. Decolonial thinking—understood as a body of theory originating in Latin America—will be discussed together with archaeologists from Brazil and Argentina. Scholars from a variety of backgrounds will share their ideas about the role museums and heritage play in decolonisation.
