Gabriela Oré Menéndez (Anthropology) published an article titled "Slow, Digital, Immersive, Accessible: A Crip Studies–Centered Framework for Inclusive Archaeological Practice" in the journal Advances in Archaeological Practice from Cambridge University Press. In her article, Oré Menéndez draws on crip theory and intersectional disability studies, interrogating the "Homo archaeologus" archetype—the idealized, able-bodied, neurotypical, field-present archaeologist who has long functioned as both a professional stereotype and a gatekeeping mechanism in our discipline. Rather than treating accessibility as an accommodation to be retrofitted after the fact, I propose a four-pillar framework for rethinking archaeological practice from the ground up.
