Show Notes
As the old adage goes, the one constant in life is change. How we react and prepare for change can make the difference in how it impacts our life -negatively or positively. This is part 1 of a 2 part series on how the next US presidential administration may affect the future of archaeology. Part 1 focuses on the academic side of our discipline; part 2 on CRM. Change is inevitable but growth is optional. How will you react?
