Your Stage : Call for Papers, WAC7 Session, Archaeology in the Media by Nigel J. Hetherington

ARCHAEOLOGY AS ENTERTAINMENT Are you an archaeologist with an interest in the media, or a filmmaker with an interest in archaeology? If so, we encourage you to be involved in a landmark session on Archaeology in the Media, at the 7th World Archaeological Congress to be held in Jordan in January 2013. Past Preservers CEO, Nigel Hetherington is co-chairing the session with Karen Martin-Stone, of Flinders University and Earth Sea Heritage Surveys, Australia. Since 2005, Nigel a graduate of UCL’s Institute of Archaeology has played a leading role in connecting members of the archaeology and media industries. Karen is a post-graduate student and field archaeologist in Australia’s Northern Territory, and served as a juror for The Archaeology Channel’s 2012 International Film and Video Festival, in Eugene, Oregon, USA. We are seeking submissions from those with a strong interest in how archaeology is represented to mainstream audiences. Submissions may be films, papers, film screenings with commentary, or you may wish to volunteer to be a panellist in a lively inter-industry debate. We will also consider proposals for real-time presentation online, for those who cannot make it to the congress. We want to hear about your experiences in communicating archaeology to a wide audience – your ideas, your successes and your challenges. Submissions must be received by 31 October 2012. They can be submitted using the WAC7 Conftool. Questions can be directed to Nigel, nigel@pastpreservers.com or Karen, kcmartin@ozemail.com.au.
