Crisis and Resilience

​

As the world continues to battle against the COVID-19 pandemic and struggle with climate change, there is no better time to talk about the resilience of humankind in the face of various crises. The theme of the 5th Cambridge Annual Student Archaeology Conference is therefore “Crisis and Resilience”.

We invite undergraduate and postgraduate students to submit a proposal to organise and host their own session. Topics can include but are not limited to:

​

• Exploring past disease, plague, environmental change, natural disaster, conflict, warfare, and violence and their relation to human society and/or the body

• Learning from the past: archaeological and heritage perspectives on contemporary issues

• The emergence and evolution of diverse human technologies to cope with external change and/or challenges

• Ethnicity, trauma and resilience in times of crisis: solidarity and bottom-up approaches

 

Email any questions to casa@arch.cam.ac.uk

 

The call for sessions is now closed

Thank you for your submissions!
