Discrimination still faced by women who toil away in the fields of anthropology and archaeology.
Abstract:
-
Excerpt:
Discrimination still faced by biological women who toil away in my own fields of endeavor: anthropology and archaeology. This discrimination is not an artifact of male over-representation (this being the usual subject of feminist complaint in academia). Nor is it centered around the actual science of anthropology or archaeology: No one is publishing papers whose actual content strikes me as offensively sexist. Rather, the working conditions and resource-access protocols in field schools, excavation sites, museums, and even virtual databases are now increasingly informed by “traditional” Indigenous practices that are, in some cases, explicitly sexist.
