DESCRIPTION:2022 marks 40 years since the publication of ‘Symbols in Act
 ion’ (SiA) by Ian Hodder. The book was highly influential in the emergen
 ce of post-processual archaeology and changing archaeological thought arou
 nd the world. To mark the four decades since the publication of SiA\, a tw
 o-day conference will focus on the influence and contributions of the book
  to theory more broadly\, and to the archaeology and material culture in A
 frica in particular. Researchers from archaeology\, history\, and anthropo
 logy will:\n\n- discuss the work’s continued presence in archaeological 
 thought and that of other disciplines in Europe\, Africa and N. and S. Ame
 rica\,\n- how Hodder’s findings in and around Baringo can be contextuali
 sed in light of more recent research\, as well as\n- how we can further de
 velop theoretical contributions to re-shape the global body of archaeologi
 cal research\, make the results relevant to living communities\, promote p
 articipation\, and constructively engage with contemporary cultural issues
 .\n\nThe conference will take place on the 22nd and 23rd September 2022 be
 tween 9.30am and 5.30pm at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Resea
 rch\, University of Cambridge\, and online. The two days will consist of 2
 0-minute papers from invited speakers followed by discussions and conversa
 tions between Ian Hodder\, Henrietta Moore\, and Michael Parker Pearson. T
 he first day will focus on developments and perspectives from Europe and t
 he Americas\, while the second day will focus on East Africa. The programm
 e follows below. \n\n*Registration details*\n\nThe conference will be live
