There's still time to RSVP for the second of our two-part spring reading meeting series, THIS TUESDAY 4/23 from 6-7:30pm EST! tinyurl.com/ornamentalism24

We'll be discussing the ch. 3-5 of Anne Anlin Cheng's Ornamentalism. Sign up for the Zoom link + readings if you need!

This month we could only fill 7 grants!

With over $7,000 needed for emergency requests and a backlog of $13,000 from this year alone, please consider monthly donations. Many requests this month are from those that are food insecure and/or facing medical emergencies.

With the fracturing of social media we've decided to start a BTC newsletter to update on what is going on with the collective - publications, microgrants, activism and mutual aid in #archaeology . We expect to post 1-2 times a month. Sign up here:

Part 2 is coming up on 4/23! Everyone is welcome (even if you didn't attend Part 1)!
