Edward González-Tennant is an anthropological archaeologist investigating the complex ways heritage is mobilized in the modern world. One of his primary research interests centers on the maintenance of racial privilege in the recent and contemporary past. A growing engagement with postcolonial theory and intersectionality accentuates González-Tennant's recent scholarship and guides a long-standing interest in public outreach. His areas of specialization include historical archaeology, public archaeology, inequality, postcolonial studies, landscape & spatial analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), 19th and 20th century material culture, and visual research methods. His geographic interests include work in the Southeast US, Caribbean, and South Pacific. His research examines the process of engaging with descendant communities as equal partners in developing questions, methods, and interpretations. This includes the investigation of new media as a vehicle for translating academic research into public knowledge.
