IPinCH Fellow: January to December 2013
MA, Simon Fraser University, Department of Archaeology, 2014
Erin is interested in the intersection of postcolonial archaeologies, heritage resource management, and critical heritage studies. Her Master’s research examined how archaeologists and communities, especially First Nations, are working together. Erin identified that this process of working together, or community engagement, currently occurs despite the absence of heritage policy explicitly encouraging such collaborations. Instead, archaeologists must determine by trial and error how to best engage with communities.
As of March 2016, Erin is a Ph.D. student at SFU in the Department of Archaeology, under the supervision of Dr. John Welch. Her Ph.D. research uses British Columbia as a case study for worldwide heritage policy issues. She examines what values and interests have driven changes in site conservation policy and practice, and why archaeological sites are so seldom preserved. She explores issues of heritage values, site conservation policy, and the relationship between policy creation and implementation.
