Archaeological knowledge in the era of scientific mediation: issues in the mass media and museums

Abstract

The present Special Issue is a part of a scientific research and mediation program. It is especially related with the question of cultural dissemination of scientific elements in the archaeological museum. This program is the fruit of a Greek-Canadian collaboration team set up in recent years by experienced and young researchers from the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) and the University of Patras. The program was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) with a grant from its Connection program (2019-2021-Archeology in the era of scientific mediation). This financial aid enabled our team to support events and outreach activities, such as seminars and knowledge mobilization initiatives and lead to the publication of this Special Issue Archaeological knowledge in the era of scientific mediation: issues in the mass media and museums.
