FOR-313T: Atlantic Pasts, Caribbean Futures: Honoring the Scholarship, Mentorship and Service of Doug Armstrong
| ||
| Session Abstract | ||
|
This forum honors the remarkable career of Doug Armstrong, whose transformative scholarship, dedicated service, and profound mentorship have indelibly shaped the contours of the field and inspired generations of scholars. His expertise in Historical Archaeology has focused on the overlapping fields of the African Diaspora, Enslavement, and Freedom, with long-term research engagements in the Caribbean and upstate New York. His work has helped shape scholarship addressing Atlantic world histories and archaeologies while centering everyday experiences of Caribbeanpopulations in broader colonial contexts. Doug has been committed to community-driven historical archaeology for the past four decades. Perhaps one of Doug’s most enduring contributions to the field is the development of future scholars, including the program he developed at Syracuse University. This forum brings together colleagues, mentees, advisees, and friends whose lives and careers have been influenced by Doug. | ||
