Show notes

In this episode we discuss some things that have been going on in the world, mainly the US, especially the proposal on the ban on international students and how it affects universities and students.

Petitions

A quick note on petitions: while they raise awareness, a government is not going to care about a petition started by a non-citizen (WH.gov petitions have a time period they were responded to under the Obama administration but the Trump administration has neglected active petitions there back to 2017). The most impact you can have right now is calling or emailing your elected representatives.

Open Letter Against the Student Ban
Change.org: Allow F-1 and M-1 students to remain in the US with online-only classes
Allow International Students to Finish Their Degrees
Allow F-1 students to stay in the US through the fall semester if instruction is online due to the pandemic

Archaeology as a Good Faith Effort - CRMArch 193 Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

The concept of "good faith effort" is discussed a lot in archaeology. Archaeologists are required to survey and record cultural resources to the best of their ability or, using a good faith effort. What does this mean? How do you define it? We also talk about artifacts and other aspects of site recording and ask the question, "is everything important?"
