A thread requested by a colleague who is admirably live-tweeting #ACRA2023 #Archaeology conference, asking about my opinions for #HigherEd #AcademicChatter #Anthropology connections to private sector cultural resource management:
1/n. Reach Out – request a meeting with the chair of your local college departments that house anthropology or other programs of interest, get their dean in on that meeting (or a second meeting). Prime an information-and-activity pipeline.
