Dr. Terry Brock is the Director of CHARG, and works at Wake Forest University as a Research Associate in both the African American Studies and Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies Departments and as the Manager of Archaeology and Research at the Wake Forest Historical Museum. He is currently the co-chair of the Slavery, Race, and Memory Project at WFU. He received his PhD in Anthropology from Michigan State University in 2014, and has been working as a public and research archaeologist at nationally recognized museums such as Historic St. Mary\u2019s City and The Montpelier Foundation. His research has focused on the study of the African Diaspora, particularly in the contexts of plantation slavery and post-emancipation in the Mid-Atlantic. He is also an expert on collaborative archaeological heritage and museum work, with an emphasis on community-based archaeology programs, hands-on archaeological learning, and public archaeology. He serves on the board for Archaeology in the Community, a non-profit public archaeology program based in Washington, DC, and MUSEws, a history museum in Winston Salem.
Dr. Brock also focuses on project management, team management, and digital heritage applications. He has led archaeological excavations with upwards of 20 archaeologists, students, and volunteers, and directed multi-year excavation projects. He and his colleagues have also focused on developing anti-racist practice in their hiring, training, and programming. He has co-directed archaeological field schools and public archaeology programs, and has experience designing and implementing heritage tours and programs that weave archaeology and history together. He is also an expert in the use of digital tools for cultural heritage, ranging from the early use of social media for public engagement to designing websites for cultural heritage institutions, to building paperless, publicly engaged archaeological data collection systems using Geographic Information Systems, and the use of aerial imagery in archaeological site documentation. He received his professional certificate in GIS in 2018 from the University of Richmond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
