Meet one of our Robert L. Schuyler Student Travel Award recipients, Miriam Entin! Miriam presented her research, entitled “Jewish Ritual Baths: The Challenge of 19th-Century Urban America” at #SHA2025 this past January. She shares, “My commitment to my project stems from a desire to engage in research that is personally meaningful. As a Jewish woman, my personal experience affords an emic perspective toward historical mikveh practice that reveals subtleties which may be less apparent to those outside the tradition. At the same time, my work promotes a valuable exercise in reflexivity, encouraging me to move beyond any preconceived notions of mikveh practice and appreciate unfamiliar nuances and variation in the historical cases I encounter.” Congratulations, Miriam! 🥳 Join SHA as a Student Member to be eligible for incredible opportunities like these. More awards will be announced later this year! https://lnkd.in/gwM7-7SH #SHA #Research #Archaeology

Check out this virtual career fair opportunity for those seeking jobs in Cultural Resources Management and allied fields in the heritage sector! 👇
Associate Professor of Archaeology, Department of Social Sciences, Michigan Technological University
I am very pleased to share that Michigan Technological University is hosting a virtual career fair for job seekers in Cultural Resources Management (#CRM) and allied fields in the heritage sector! Employer preview: https://lnkd.in/dZx4sn9b The event is free to both employers and job seekers. (Update: 31 colleges and universities have already signed up to connect their graduating students and recent alumni! More will likely join in the coming days.) This event is aimed at new and early career professionals seeking to get their start in the field: #archaeologists, #ethnographers, oral/public/architectural #historians, #geographers, #sociologists, #geospatial scientists, #planners, #museum professionals, and the heritage-allied fields. (maybe even #paleontology!) The CRM world relies entirely upon networking for students and new grads to get their foot in the door. This is a serious disadvantage to those who graduate from small programs or in regions that are removed from active CRM fieldwork. This virtual fair is the first attempt to use existing career services infrastructure to improve the school-to-job pipeline for CRM-related fields at a national scale. The 2025 fair is aimed at CRM careers as narrowly defined. If this is successful, we will expand in future years to include a more expansive set of heritage-allied fields, from tourism and development, to education, sustainability and media/entertainment. Originally intended as a small experiment, this year's fair will hopefully also serve thousands of young and new professionals abruptly terminated from federal service jobs in cultural resources. (Notes about this in the first comment below) We are currently inviting employers and universities to the Handshake platform. 1. Those already on Handshake can use the link below to request a connection. If you have trouble, please contact MTU Career Services (careerfair@mtu.edu). 2. Job seekers, registration will open on March 1st. Easiest access is for current students or recent graduates from a Handshake-participating college or university. This allows you to sign in to the website using your 1234.edu email address. 3. If you have been away from your college or university for some time, you'll need to check with that university's alumni office or career services office. 4. I will post a follow up as soon as I can that includes instructions for job seekers that are not affiliated with a college or university. I think it will be possible for someone to get into the event, but I need help to explain how. 5. We welcome the support from professional organizations, agencies, and media companies/individuals! Please help us spread the word to job seekers, to employers, and to anyone who might participate! Thanks to everyone- Tim Scarlett https://lnkd.in/dRPiNHX8

Meet one of our Robert L. Schuyler Student Travel Award recipients, Rachael Lanning! Rachael presented her research, entitled “Mapping Reconstruction Era Economics: Employing XRF in An Analysis of 19th Century Stoneware Distribution” at #SHA2025 in New Orleans! She shares, “I have been working with Dr. Kelly Goldberg and South Carolina State Parks to interpret alkaline-glazed stoneware (which has long been a quintessential part of South Carolina archaeology) through the lens of a local State Park location. This project has brought together elements of public history and archaeological interpretation which has been invaluable in supporting my intended career in museum work.” Congratulations, Rachael! 🥳 Join SHA as a Student Member to be eligible for incredible opportunities like these. More awards will be announced later this year! https://lnkd.in/gwM7-7SH #SHA #Research #Archaeology

New in our Micro-Climate Blog Series by Marcy Rockman! How do we learn change? Greenland and the US Department of Education are in the news now due to statements of the US executive for acquisition and dismantling, respectively. But new archaeological research shows a deeper connection, one that speaks to our very capacity to learn a changing climate. 🇬🇱 Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eugMuq9W 📸: Sissarluttoq, just southwest of the Inuit settlement of Igaliku, contains some of the best-preserved Norse ruins in Greenland.

Meet one of our Robert L. Schuyler Student Travel Award recipients, Julie Julison! Julie’s research project, “Breaking the Silence. Sex Workers in 19th and 20th-Century Detroit: Findings from the Femme Beings Project,” is an interdisciplinary group effort with anthropology graduate students Sarah Pounders and Ana Saenz. Their research is focused on unearthing the histories of female sex workers in Detroit between 1830 and 1930 by using evidence from material culture and archival sources to understand the city’s sex work industry and the role of women in facilitating services. Shares Julie, “Our initial research suggests that sex workers represented a diverse group of women, varying in age, marital status, race, and ethnicity. This diversity fosters a nuanced understanding of sex work in the past that goes beyond simplistic stereotypes associated with the designation/label ‘prostitute.’” Join us in congratulating Julie on a job well done! 👏 Join SHA as a Student Member to be eligible for incredible opportunities like these. More awards will be announced later this year! https://lnkd.in/gwM7-7SH #SHA #SHA2025 #Research

New in our Micro-Climate Blog Series by Marcy Rockman! ☀️ Climate change itself has heritage - places, objects, and knowledge that track growth of human awareness of the changes our actions are creating in the atmosphere and efforts to respond well to these changes. As current challenges grow across US federal agencies, federal climate heritage presents us with the question that all heritage holds: what do we want to do next?
