On May 2nd, 2019, archaeologist Dr. Eleanor Casella (University of Tasmania) met with a panel of CIAMS students (Sarah McCully and Taylor Carr-Howard) and faculty (Dana Bardolph, Sherene Baugher, and Nerissa Russell) to discuss the archaeology of institutional confinement, the material dynamics of social relationships, and the role of historical archaeology in both the academy and also contemporary Tasmanian society. The discussion centered on three of Dr. Casella’s publications. The first was a 2000 article in World Archaeology, titled “‘Doing Trade’: a Sexual Economy of Nineteenth-century Australian Female Convict Prisons”, the second was her 2012 chapter in her co-edited (with Barbara Voss) volume The Archaeology of Colonialism: Intimate Encounters and Sexual Effects, “Little Bastard Felons: Childhood, Affect, and Labor in the Penal Colonies of Nineteenth-Century Australia”, and the third was her 2016 article in Historical Archaeology, “Horizons beyond the Perimeter Wall: Relational Materiality, Institutional Confinement, and the Archaeology of Being Global”. Dr. Casella joined us from across the globe, participating in the podcast via video call from Tasmania.
