ASHA 2008 Conference Information |
Adelaide,
South Australia — September 24–27, 2008
Venue:
State Library of South Australia
Join us this year in Adelaide, South Australia, for
the AIMA/ASHA/AAMH annual archaeology conference. We borrowed this year’s
conference theme from the 1960s movement "History from Below." That
movement saw historians shift their focus from topics such as great men, big
wars and political elites to subjects that previously had been neglected like
women, children, urban and rural poor, immigrants and ethnic minorities.
"History from Below" was also about engaging public interest in local
histories and encouraging the public to take control of their own personal and
community histories.
