Works-in-Progress: April Kamp-Whittaker "Conciliation and Community Archaeology at a WWII Japanese American Internment Center," Friday, October 6th, 12:00 PM, Humanities Center - PAC 113

Since 2008 the Amache Archaeology Project has worked to help tell the stories of individuals interned at the Granada Relocation Center National Park Site, a WWII Japanese American incarceration center. Over the years a strong collaborative relationship has developed between the survivor and descendant community and researchers involved in the archaeology. This has led us to ask how archaeology is contributing to processes of reconciliation around a traumatic historical event.

Dr. April Kamp-Whittaker is Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology.
