Autorenporträt
Laura McAtackney is an Associate Professor in Sustainable Heritage Management in the Archaeology Department at Aarhus University, Denmark. An archaeologist by training, her current research in contemporary and historical archaeology explores areas as diverse as material segregation and walls in Northern Ireland, the dark heritage of Long Kesh/Maze prison and female experiences of political imprisonment during the Irish Civil War (and how they are remembered during commemorative periods). She is currently the secretary of CHAT (Contemporary and Historical Archaeology in Theory group) and is a co-assistant editor of Post Medieval Archaeology. Krysta Ryzewski is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit, where she co-leads the Anthropology of the City initiative. Her historical and contemporary archaeological research explores the consequences of social and environmental pressures on landscapes, communities, and material culture production. She currently conducts major research projects focused on these themes in urban North America [Detroit] and in the Caribbean [Montserrat]. In 2017 she received the John L. Cotter Award from the Society for Historical Archaeology for her work on the Unearthing Detroit Project, which she began in 2013. The Unearthing Detroit team maintains a blog and social media accounts that chronicle her ongoing research and collaborations in the city.
