Theoretical Archaeology Group 2021 | Stanford University, 30 April to 2 May, 2021

WELCOME

We are happy to announce that Theoretical Archaeology Group 2021 will go forward as a virtual conference and that the event will take place from April 30th to May 2nd.

In light of the ongoing acts of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous violence that testify to the immediate need for systemic social change, the new TAG 2021 theme will focus on issues of social and racial justice in the theory, method, and practice of archaeology.

The conference starts on Friday, April 30 at 1 PM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). You can find the conference schedule and sessions HERE.

Stanford University occupies a portion of the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. This land is of great importance to the Ohlone people, and has been since time immemorial. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge, honor and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples. Read More.

Stanford University’s founding endowment originated in profit from the exploitation of racialized labor of Chinese railroad workers and others employed in the Stanford family’s business enterprises. The TAG organizing committee takes seriously the University’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity and we recognize our specific historical indebtedness to the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities.
