SHA Presidential Committees
Committee Description: Members of the Academic and Professional Training committee come from all areas of SHA’s archaeological community and hold intersecting identities. We are academic professionals and graduate students; CRM and government professionals; terrestrial and underwater archaeologists; and members of historically marginalized communities as well as members of those groups who have historically benefitted from these inequities. We oversee the production and maintenance of year-round online content (Syllabus Clearinghouse, Higher Education Resources, Blogs); in-person events focused around the Annual Meeting (Jamie Chad Brandon Student Paper Prize, Ethics Bowl, Solo Diners Program), and have plans to expand some programs as year-round opportunities (Workshops). Participation in the APTC has long been a first service experience for new SHA members. The Committee’s diverse portfolio of projects reflects and reinforces our diversity of voices. We can pivot to expand or modify resources as the changing membership demands.

Committee Description: Members of the Gender and Minority Affairs committee represent a diverse group of archaeologists who may identify as a member of a historically marginalized community i.e. (race and ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, class/socioeconomic status.) As a committee we strive to foster an environment that is safe, inclusive, welcoming, and above all respectful of all regardless of their identities within these communities. We are seeking to create and sustain an inclusive and equitable organization which is only possible if we address structural issues, such as unequal access to education, professional opportunities, healthcare, transportation, and childcare. Together, we have a responsibility to create a culture that recognizes and addresses all forms of oppression and inequality.
