The Impact of Collaborative Educational Tourism on Archaeological Research, Management Initiatives, and Curriculum Development

2016 Southwest Symposium Poster. As part of their Cultural Exploration program, Crow Canyon Archaeological Center often brings together Native Pueblo and Archaeological scholars for one week-long Exploration trips. The trips are framed as educational tourism seminars around themes such as Hopi migrations, the History of Taos, or the Chaco World. While there is monetary and professional incentives for scholars to participate in these trips, a growing number engage in them to expand their own personal and professional perspectives. This is partially due to the nature of the discourse during these seminars, which is public yet intimate and unconstrained by policy and procedure. In this paper we explore the scholar’s experience of these trips and identify how they integrate this discourse into their research programs, perspectives on heritage management, and academic curriculums.2016年西南研讨会海报。作为文化探索项目的组成部分，乌鸦峡谷考古中心（Crow Canyon Archaeological Center）会定期召集普韦布洛原住民（Native Pueblo）与考古学学者开展为期一周的探索之旅。此类旅行被打造为围绕霍皮族迁徙、陶斯历史或查科世界（Chaco World）等主题的教育旅游研讨会。尽管学者参与此类旅行可获得物质与职业层面的激励，但越来越多学者参与其中是为了拓展个人与职业视野。这在一定程度上源于此类研讨会的话语特性：兼具公开性与私密性，且不受政策与流程的束缚。本文旨在探讨学者参与此类旅行的体验，并剖析他们如何将此类话语融入自身的研究计划、遗产管理理念与学术课程体系中。
