Prof. Shawn Graham's research profile will change your vision of what is to be an archeologist. Originally trained in the traditional study of Roman archaeology, Graham's scholarly career has evolved to focus on the sophisticated fields of digital archaeology, digital history, and the digital humanities. The Department of History's Graham is an active public voice on Twitter and a variety of open access channels like www.electricarchaeology.ca, where he shares, among other things, his research, experiments, ruminations on the modern academy, progressive teaching, and his thoughts and experiences using new learning technology. Woven through his writings are cleverly placed odes to popular art and culture which serve as useful tools to ground and situate the often complex and avant-garde ideas he presents. Notably, Graham is also the founder and editor of the innovative online space Epoiesen: A Journal for Creative Engagement in History and Archaeology.
