Preview of the documentary "Off the Archaeological Record", a critical look at archaeology from a gender perspective

Off the Archeological record is based on the study predoctoral researcher Paloma Zarzuela is conducting in her doctoral thesis, “A history of archaeology. An analysis of the social dynamics and female experiences in the discipline (1975-2020)”, within the framework of the PhD programme in Prehistoric Archaeology at the UAB.

The documentary, directed by Katia Calmet Valle, narrates the recent past of the discipline of archaeology from a gender perspective. Through the personal experiences of very diverse female archaeologists, it analyses the inequalities that are still entrenched and addresses issues such as precariousness, specialisation, motherhood or leadership, factors that influence the continuity (or not) of professional careers.

The event is free and open to the general public.
