Ten GIAP (ICAC) researchers participated in ICAC’s celebration of the International day of Women and Girls in Science. ICAC led a multilingual initiative that includes multiple 1-minute-long videos of researchers highlighting women archaeologists who had an impact on them and/or their research. The campaign lasted a few weeks, and this post groups all our participations.
Stay tuned to ICAC and GIAP’s channels, as well as the hashtag #LesNostresReferents (“our referents”) on social media!
