“restorying heritage landscapes” panel discussion (online) @ sfaa conference

Panelists: Kaleigh Hoyt (Chair), Meya Hemphill-Hodges, Jessica Gantzert, and John Pendygraft

Moderators: Dr. Antoinette Jackson & Dr. Daniel Lende

Abstract: Heritage landscapes describe the terrain of human experience, narrative, and embodied connections that combine to form stories that inform how we move through the world. Likewise, the stories that define our national heritage provide a backdrop for reconstructing new meaning from dominant narratives that continue to silence communities of storytellers that trouble the status quo. Restorying approaches in anthropology offer one way to counter invisibility and injustice. By highlighting projects on black cemeteries, communities, and histories in Tampa Bay, this panel will discuss anthropologists’ role in helping to restory what it means to be a human being in America.
