Archaeology Arcade with Dr. Uzi Baram
Time: 12:30 pm til 1:30 pm
Location: https://www.twitch.tv/fpan_online
Description: Join us as we discuss educational gaming and virtual reconstructions of archaeological sites with Dr. Uzi Baram! In this episode we will play a game Dr. Baram helped to develop to teach students about the Cuban fishing ranchos in South Florida, and explore a digital reconstruction of a maroon community destroyed in 1816.
Uzi Baram is an anthropologist who teaches a wide range of archaeology and cultural anthropology courses. As a New College professor, Professor Baram has moved his principal area of research from the eastern Mediterranean to the west coast of Florida. In the eastern Mediterranean he has studied the material culture, cultural landscapes, Western travel accounts, and social identities of the Ottoman Empire. Current research on the Middle East examines the intersection of archaeology and heritage tourism.
FPAN is hosting this event.
