Christina Hodge is organizing a panel on the theme of Collection writ large for the TAG conference. Her call is below:
I'm organizing a Forum on the theme of "Collection" for the Theoretical Archaeology Group - North America 2020 meeting at Stanford Archaeology Center in May and am looking for folks interested in presenting super short (5-minute long) talks for a lightening round and discussion forum.
TAG encourages inter- and transdisciplinary thinking about material cultures and cultural practices. If you, or anyone you know (including students, stakeholders) might be interested, please pass along this CFP! Individual paper contributions (either to accepted sessions or a general session) are due by March 15, 2020.

Collection: Thinking through the lens of “collection,” participants will explore the implications of physical and digital collecting and collections. Participants may consider collection as noun, verb, location, or metaphor to move us beyond the taken-for-granted nature of “collection” in our fields. We invite short, 5-min long papers (lightning talks) and will encourage an open discussion to share and exchange experiences and knowledge. While we are particularly interested in new opportunities given by the digital turn, our session welcomes all papers that present projects, deliberate conundrums, fret over paradoxes, or share revelations of digital and material collection/collections.
