Hello all

 

The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists' Equality and Diversity Group is undertaking a study to examine the profile of diversity across Archaeology in the UK, both at a student and professional level. The study is entitled “Digging Diversity” and comprises a short and entirely anonymous online questionnaire.

 

It can be found at this link:

 

https://apps.mhs.manchester.ac.uk/surveys//TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=DiggingDiversity17

 

Please take part if you can and we would be very grateful if you could also forward this link to your colleagues and ask them to complete the survey. The more professionals and students who complete the survey, the more representative it will be.

 

The survey will close at 5pm on Friday 8th December.

 

Initial findings from the study will be presented at TAG 2017 in the session "Archaeology, Heritage and Well-Being" http://tag2017cardiff.org/2017/06/01/archaeology-heritage-and-well-being/ and a full report will be disseminated via the CIfA Equality and Diversity group's website in spring/summer 2018 https://equalityanddiversitygroup.wordpress.com/

 

We also hope to discuss the findings at next year’s CIfA Conference within our interactive session ‘Whose Archaeology is it?’ (see page 2 of attached PDF). We are currently accepting proposals for contributions to this session. Please let me know if you are interested.

 

 

Kind Regards

Laura
