Full Description
This open access volume is the first dedicated to action within bioarchaeology and cognate disciplines, with the aim of fostering social and political change. The editors bring together a diverse range of bioarchaeologists and related practitioners whose work engages with some of the most pressing social issues facing humanity today, including infectious disease, structural violence, healthcare and inequitable access to resources, racial injustice, ethics, food insecurity, displacement, equitable education, and the intersections of these challenges with identities such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and disability. These issues explored in this volume are at the heart of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015, and encapsulated in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each chapter makes explicit connections to contemporary issues and demonstrates how our work can be used to effect social change, offering practical steps for developing an activist lens in research, practice, and academia. This volume will be of interest to academics, practitioners, and students in bioarchaeology and related disciplines.
