    We advocate a feminist approach to archaeological heritage work in order to transform heritage practice and the production of archaeological knowledge. We use an engaged feminist standpoint and situate intersubjectivity and intersectionality as critical components of this practice. An engaged feminist approach to heritage work allows the discipline to consider women’s, men’s, and gender non-conforming persons’ positions in the field, to reveal their contributions, to develop critical pedagogical approaches, and to rethink forms of representation. Throughout, we emphasize the intellectual labor of women of color, queer and gender non-conforming persons, and early white feminists in archaeology

    No full text
    Sexuality is a complex amalgam of drives, desires, practices, and identities. Across the social sciences, sexuality has come to be understood first and foremost as socially constructed; even the most intimate and private acts are shaped by social norms that inform ideas about reproduction, kinship, love, and pleasure. Anthropology has been at the forefront of recording how sexuality is organized in specific locales and increasingly shaped by macrolevel and global factors. Anthropology's contribution to the study of human sexuality is through documentation of how sex is experienced and categorized differently across cultures. This is in contrast to approaches in other disciplines, such as psychology and sexology, that tend to treat sexual behaviors as psychological and physical instincts rather than as social phenomena
