Conducted under the auspices of the Columbia University Center for Archaeology, Remembering Landscapes will provide a forum for graduate students to explore the complex and multivalent interaction between memory, experience, landscape, and place. Aspects to be addressed include but are not limited to:

• Landscape as memory and memory as landscape
• Construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of identity through place
• Experiential qualities of "real" (i.e., tangible) and "imagined" (i.e., conceptualized) places
• Landscape as political and politicized phenomenon
• Ways of access to, movement within, and constraint of landscapes
• Overlapping, coinciding, and mutually exclusive constructions of place
• Landscapes as vehicles of remembering, memorializing, and forgetting
• Practicing archaeology as a form of remembrance

Discussants: Professors Terry D'Altroy and Zoe Crossland
