Public Lecture Celebrating University of Florida-University of Ghana Partnership
Kodzo Gavua from the University of Ghana, Legon gave a lecture tilted “Archaeology and Ghana’s Cultural Heritage: Critical Issues and Approaches.” The lecture served as an informal start to the partnership formed between University of Florida and University of Ghana. Dr. Gavua’s talk provided an overview of heritage and archaeological research in Ghana. He also discussed issues in archaeology, and how archaeology is being approached today at the University of Ghana. Currently Dr. Gavua and his colleagues are working towards reviewing and revising disciplinary goals, adopting public archaeology strategies, revising academic curricula and training, and mainstreaming archaeology throughout Ghana.
