Jones, are the moderators of the upcoming Forum Addressing Sexual Harassment and Assault in Archaeology, to be held at this year’s Annual Meeting. As part of designing a space where the community can discuss these issues, we are asking membership for their
help in gathering visual shows of support. We request a photo of yourself, either alone or with colleagues, in your work environment (e.g., in the field, lab, classroom, etc.) holding a sign expressing one (or more) of the following words or phrases: It’s
On Us; Accountability; Respect; Enough!; Support; Responsibility. </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
