In her 2017 John Dewey Lecture, Alison Wylie emphasizes that archaeological practices and philosophies must integrate with contemporary cultural perspectives to remain relevant and impactful.
Wylie argues that archaeology should not just be a technical discipline but also engage with societal implications, fostering a deeper understanding of human history through collaborative practices.
She highlights the importance of a context-sensitive approach in archaeology, where the material evidence is interpreted through the lens of both historical and modern cultural narratives.
Wylie's work advocates for a feminist philosophy of science within archaeology, urging a commitment to ethics that acknowledges the voices and contributions of marginalized groups in historical narratives.
