Archaeology for a New Generation: Exploring Education and Intersectionality

Archaeology in the Community (AITC) is an urban-based archaeology organization founded with the intent of providing science opportunities to marginalized youth who would not be exposed to archaeology through their formal educational institutions. Through informal education techniques, AITC has sought to educate students that have become victims of unequal education system which benefits small pockets of students. AITC is a pioneer in leveraging unique models of intersectionality that positively impact and resonate with urban, socioeconomically challenged students of color in Washington, DC metropolitan area.
