The CASA Committee is delighted to announce our Call for Papers:

The conference will consist of six themed sessions, chaired by young researchers from across the world. In addition, we will also hold an open session to host papers that do not fall into any of the proposed themed sessions, but still relate to the overarching theme of ‘Crisis and Resilience’.

 

We invite applicants to submit paper abstracts for any of the following sessions:

​

• Health, Disease, and Population Demographics – Methodology for Exploring Resilience in Populations of the Past 

• Crisis and Opportunity: Probes into the Crisis-induced “New Normal(s)” of Subsistence Economies During Times of Change

• Rethinking Crisis: Archaeological Perspectives on Humans, Non-humans and Environments from the Late Pleistocene Onwards

• Resilient Traditions: What to Learn and How to Share

• Inequality and Dynamism in Social Relations in Times of Crisis: Archaeology of Other Voices

• Postcolonialism, Coloniality and Decolonisation: Crisis in the Discipline of Heritage Studies in Post-colonial Contexts

• Open Session (for any paper that does not fall into any of the themed sessions but relates to the main theme 'Crisis and Resilience')

 

Session abstracts can be found HERE.

​

This year’s conference will be held in a hybrid format. We kindly ask applicants to indicate whether you plan to present in person or on Zoom, and if you would like to receive subsidies for lodging if you intend to travel to Cambridge to attend in person.

 

The call for papers is now closed.

Thank you for your submissions!
