On November 20th, 2020, archaeologist Uzma Rizvi (Pratt Institute) met with a panel of CIAMS students (Rafeal Cruz Gil, Rebecca Gerdes, Jaimie Luria, Ayesha Matthan) and faculty (Maia Dedrick, Adam Smith) to discuss decolonizing archaeology, equitable practices, epistemic critique, and the speculative. The conversation centered on two of Dr. Rizvi’s recent publications. The first was a 2015 piece in E-Flux, titled “Theorizing Deposition: Transitional Stratigraphy, Disruptive Layers and the Future,” and the second was a 2019 article in the Journal of Contemporary Archaeology, “Archaeological Encounters: The Role of the Speculative in Decolonial Archaeology.” This podcast was hosted over Zoom, everyone participated remotely.
