ARCH40630 Disseminating Archaeological Research

Academic Year 2017/2018

This module, designed for PhD scholars as part of the UCD Structured PhD Programme, explores through practical applications how archaeologists can communicate the results of archaeological discovery to the wider discipline and to the general public. We may explore the uses of traditional resources, such as conference posters, different types of peer review publications (books, journal papers, edited conference proceedings), and also various social media platforms, such as Facebook groups, Youtube videos, Blogs and several other approaches, to develop your own ideas about how you might go about promoting your own research projects.
