Lorna Richardson (University College London)
Public Archaeology in a Digital Age
ALL WELCOME
This paper will discuss the need for diverse archaeological communities
to widen participation and engage new audiences on a more collaborative
platform. The paper will discuss the results of my doctoral research,
which has provided data that can be used to improve user experience,
engagement and participation with archaeology and other heritage
subjects via Internet technologies, and embed usability and
sustainability within digital archaeological projects. Understanding the
impact of participatory media will aid archaeologists and those in the
heritage fields to promote the advantages of digital engagement and
public collaboration, in terms of economic benefit, social justice,
learning outcomes, diversifying audiences and the promotion of social
inclusion.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
