The Department of Archaeology Graduate (DAG) Society at Memorial University is please to organize a session, titled: Knitting New Narratives: Student Voices in Archaeology, for students interested in giving an oral presentation on their research. 

Both graduate and undergraduate students play crucial roles in the advancement of archaeology. Undergraduate students help to bring new energy and fresh perspectives, often asking questions that can lead to significant insights. Graduate students, with their more focused research, push the boundaries of the field by developing new methodologies or deepening the understanding of complex archaeological contexts. This session provides a platform for students to share and discuss their research findings openly. It fosters an environment that prioritizes learning and collaboration, allowing students to explore their topics without the immediate need to demonstrate broad field impact. Their active participation in academic discussions propels archaeology forward as a dynamic and evolving discipline. Attendees will gain insight into how new ideas and technologies are being integrated into archaeological research, enhancing traditional methods and expanding the field’s boundaries. This session also provides an opportunity for students to engage with both peers and experienced professionals in a dialogue that is constructive and centered on mutual learning and growth. We invite all conference participants to join this session to support and encourage our emerging scholars.
