Chapter from the book: Hageneuer, S. 2020. Communicating the Past in the Digital Age: Proceedings of the International Conference on Digital Methods in Teaching and Learning in Archaeology (12th-13th October 2018).
What does it mean to decolonise archaeology in teaching and learning today? What role can (or should) digital technology and approaches play in transforming training and practice? This chapter will use case studies developing hybrid interventions in museum exhibits through collaborations between the University of Victoria, the Royal BC Museum (RBCM), descendant communities and diverse publics in Victoria, BC, to examine how digital media and platforms can be used to extend and reshape existing archaeology and decolonisation measures and spark relevant and much needed dialogues about heritage, education and practice in an increasingly digital era.
