Women have been playing an increasing role in archaeology but still face obstacles and challenges due to gender; some of these are systemic and intergenerational while some are societal or internal. While many women have overcome difficulties and have achieved levels of greatness in their career, many women still face barriers and hurdles, and many women leave archaeology due to difficult circumstances. It doesn’t have to be this way. This roundtable invites women (inclusively defined) in all levels of their career to chat with women who have endured; they will share their stories and lessons learned. Come and be inspired.

Panelists:

Amelia Fay, Manitoba Museum

Jennifer Botica, Kleanza Consulting
