Ora viva,
This is a call for papers for the session we are organising at this year?s TAG conference, which takes place from 14th-16th December in Birmingham (http://centraltag.wordpress.com/). Abstracts of c.200 words are invited and time slots of 20 mins will be allocated to each paper. Papers with a ?non-traditional? style of delivery, such as those involving audience participation, are especially welcome. Abstracts should be submitted directly to the session organisers. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is October 31st 2011. Session Title ?The How and Why of Archaeology Outreach: case studies and reflexive approaches to public engagement? Abstract Outreach projects are a way that archaeologists can connect with and inspire the public. Done well, they can generate mutual benefits for archaeologists and the wider community, promoting the sharing of knowledge and skills, while increasing archaeology?s relevance and impact in society. Activities are often run by volunteers who put a lot of hard work into designing and implementing them. However, despite the success of many of these projects, archaeology is struggling to convince the public of its worth. With the rise of university tuition fees in 2012, some university departments are concerned about how this will affect their intake. University departments and archaeology firms have started introducing outreach officers in an attempt to reach local people, and it is becoming increasingly important to have outreach experience on your CV when looking for a job. It is important to share experiences and assess the success of our projects in order to tackle the issues with public engagement. This session aims to bring together people involved in outreach projects of any kind, and hopefully inspire more people to get involved with projects in the future, as well as to question how involvement in such activities have affected the way professionals engage with the archaeological record. The organisers invite papers on projects that have taken place, or on theoretical issues surrounding the idea of ?outreach?. Papers which take a reflexive view of the impact of wider engagement on archaeological practice and interpretation are especially welcome.
