I am the Social Media Liaison for the Gender and Minority Affairs Committee (GMAC) of the Society for Historical Archaeology. SHA plans on creating a blog that will go live in January 2012. Each committee is being asked to provide content for that blog. In order to make our content as meaningful and relevant as possible to SHA members and the archaeological community, we are looking for feedback from you. We want to learn about the history of the Gender and Minority Affairs Committee and SHA members involvement in the committee. We have provided a few questions for that might provide us with relevant blog topics for future posts. Please answer the questions below as you feel comfortable doing so and as they pertain to your experience in the profession of archaeology in general or SHA GMAC more specifically. You can send all responses to me at [log in to unmask]. If you do not feel comfortable answering a question or you do not feel that it is relevant to your experiences, please feel free to skip it. If you would like us to refrain from disclosing your identity on the blog, we will be more than willing to do so, just state that in your response email. The survey questions are as follows:
What is your current position?
What is your gender/ethnic/ability information (if you would like to disclose)?
What has been your role played in the Gender and Minority Affairs Committee in the past or currently?
What has SHA accomplished in terms of diversity/gender and minority affairs issues?
What has the field of archaeology accomplished in terms of diversity/gender and minority affairs issues?
What do you think still needs to be done?
What are your research interests (past and/or current)?
