Abstract
This flyer advertises the course ANTH 499.02: Science Communication in Anthropology, Public Engagement and the Pioneers in Americanist Archaeology Project. This project project involved research on individuals who have made substantial leadership contributions to archaeology and cultural resource management. The project was spearheaded by WSU faculty Shannon Tushingham and William Lipe, and included research and undergraduate and graduate student class projects. As a public archaeology and science communication project, students were directed to research, write, and publish a Wikipedia biography about one of the “Pioneers”. Many of these individuals remain unknown and their contributions underappreciated, largely because much research has not been compiled or communicated in an engaging way. This is an ongoing pedagogical experiment in engaged research methods that focuses on scientific dissemination in Wikipedia, which, love it or hate it, it is one of the most heavily used sources of information on the internet.
