Expertise Credentials:
Dr. Shackel is Director of the Center for Heritage Resource Studies, a program that supports the comprehensive approach to the study of heritage. His extensive work at Harpers Ferry delves into issues of class and labor. He received a 3-year National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates award that allowed him to partner with other institutions to train undergraduates in archaeology and explore issues of race, class and ethnicity on the Illinois western frontier. The work focused on the historic town of New Philadelphia, Illinois and it engages the local community to think about issues of racism in western Illinois. The development of civic engagement activities became an important part of this archaeological program.
He is now developing a project that includes oral histories and archeology of a labor massacre that occurred in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania in 1897. Dr. Shackel serves as the PI on a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service. These projects provide work and educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Shackel is interested in what nationally significant sites mean to the American public, and how they help to create and maintain a national identity. Archaeology plays a role in revealing controversial issues of our country's development, such as labor, racism, and enslavement.
