Alongside our collaborators, Archaeology Otherwise is a mixed group of people from areas local to our work, the archaeological industry, the creative professions, the public sector, and academia.
As we build our web profile, please contact Sara Perry at University College London for more information.
Ian Champion
Ian is a PhD student at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UCL), researching virtual reality and sense of place for people with no prior connection to a heritage site, and what that means for sustainable heritage tourism and the ethics of community co-production. He has a wider interest in participatory practice and more nuanced outcomes in heritage and archaeology.
Alice Clough
Alice is an artist, archaeologist and anthropologist working across disciplines and sectors. Her PhD with the University of Bristol and Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) proposed critical-creative interventions into normative archaeological workflows, with an interest in democratising interpretative practice and surfacing different stories about the past. Her research interests include collective imagination practice and fostering dialogue with and about more-than-human worlds.
Mark Gillings
Mark is a landscape generalist with a long standing interest in questions of method, theory and relations between them. He has spent many years digging and writing about prehistoric monuments and is currently pondering just how hard we can (and should) tug at the creative strands that animate all good archaeological writing. He is currently a Professor of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Bristol.
Sara Perry
Sara is a long-time advocate for community rights to cultural heritage. She has a special focus on digital technologies as tools for facilitating and complicating the relationships between people and the past. She is a citizen of both Canada and Britain, lives in London, and is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UCL).
Lawrence Shaw
Lawrence is Lead Historic Environment Advisor for Forestry England, the largest land manager in England. He previously spent eight years working as an archaeologist for the New Forest National Park Authority. His PhD research explored how to engage hard-to-reach audiences with the historic environment of ‘natural’ landscapes, with a particular focus on the New Forest and citizen science. He is passionate about storytelling and using media as a tool to reach new audiences, alongside his expertise in heritage management, archaeological research and public engagement.
Sadie Watson
Sadie’s research focuses on redefining what public benefit might mean for the developer-funded archaeological sector, which has evolved in many directions. Prior to this she worked in the City of London directing the excavation of major Roman sites before moving into a research post at MOLA.
