PhD research: Digging holes in foreign cultures
Sjoerd has started his PhD research Digging holes in foreign cultures? Development of an ethical and sustainable framework for managing archaeological sites in the developing world (funded by NWO’s Maatschappij & Gedragswetenschappen) examining the socio-political and cultural contexts in which theory and practice of Dutch archaeological projects in postcolonial contexts are developed and utilized.
Aims
His research will evaluate how the discourse, theory and institutional context of Dutch archaeology impacts upon professionals working in postcolonial contexts and how this relates to contemporary needs and values of national, regional and local communities and stakeholders in the host country. It will examine key issues in Dutch policy and practice, integrate these with theoretical insights from the fields of social sciences and development studies, in order to develop an ethical and sustainable framework for undertaking archaeological projects in postcolonial contexts.
