Welcome!

Dear all,
After each meeting of our group, I will post a summary of our discussion so that you can catch up in case you missed the meeting. I hope that you will consider contributing your thoughts and reflections to this blog, so that it can be an avenue of further questioning, discussion, and interaction.  And feel free to share this with friends to get them in on the discussion, too!


First meeting topic:  Why study the ancient past, and why fund study of the ancient past?

Second meeting topic (FIELD TRIP!):  How do archaeological projects and museum exhibits shape our public heritage?

Third meeting topic:  How do narratives about the past affect our ideas about the present (such as our identities) and how can we reconcile competing narratives of a conflict? 

Next meeting:  Thursday the 27th, 5:00-7:00 pm (12:00-19:00 hours), Gates room.
