Dr. Eva Alarcón-García
Eva Alarcón-García is a tenured senior lecturer in Prehistory working at the University of Granada. She completed her postdoctoral studies at Durham University (United Kingdom). Her research is conducted within the framework of feminist archaeology; her interests revolve around the development of the archaeology of maintenance activities (recovery of spaces and women’s work in the past) and the visibility of girls and boys as protagonists in stories, paying special attention to learning and socialising processes within the framework of childhood archaeology.
All her research focuses on the late prehistory of the Iberian Peninsula under four fundamental variables: time (daily life), space (domesticity), objects (artefacts and ecofacts) and subjects (people). Her ultimate goal is to contribute knowledge as well as reverse social and historical assessments with the intention of building a more human-centred scientific knowledge. She has been co-PI of the research project ARQPARENT.
