The theme of this year’s conference is Isolation and Remote Work. We once again remain committed to our goal of breaking boundaries and disrupting the norm. This year has thrown us for a loop, forcing many of us to work from home and find creative and innovative ways to adjust and continue our education and research. This year has similarly highlighted the urgent need for structural change. Although technology has allowed many of us to work remotely, access to technology is not universal. Our focus is on interdisciplinary research from anthropology and archaeology that highlights the creative, innovative and sometimes frustrating aspects of isolation and remote work. We welcome research that challenges the status quo in other ways, including making research more accessible to a wider audience and breaking down barriers of accessibility, including racial injustice and gender inequality.
