I use GIS, survey and excavation data, and social network data generated from archival documents to explore patterns in the built environment created by site residents as a way of reconstructing spheres of interaction and understanding the development of social cohesion and community identity. My dissertation, The Archaeology of Social Ties and Community Formation in a WWII Japanese American Incarceration Center, compares the physical and social structure of multiple neighborhoods to describe how new communities were formed among a displaced population. This project has applications for contemporary urban planning while also contributing to the body of archaeological research on neighborhood identities. Currently, I am serving as the Co-Director of the project. Working with Dr. Bonnie Clark, we hold a biennial field school in archaeology and museum studies. The field school is part of the Institute for Field Research and trains students in a range of field methods along with museum and public interpretation. In addition to learning traditional excavation and survey, field school participants address the complicated history of racism and prejudice presented by the site’s history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631559722112-WFCNAUQ2Z3RVVWA8M2BT/IMG_7615.jpg Research - Digital Data Collection Our field data are collected using a series of digital tools that include an OCHRE database and ArcGIS QuickCapture and FieldMaps. Students are trained in the use of digital methods in archaeology and these tools allow us to effectively conduct spacial analyses and share data with community members. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631501323871-J9YQH1UT73BI9GJICBKL/Amache+Community.jpg Research - Community Oriented Amache is a site of living memory. Community participation and input have been key components since the project started in 2008. Each year more members of the stakeholder community visit or participate in the field school. As a researcher I work to give back to this community through talks, participation in community organizations, and personalized help with family research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631561416026-PAG4DXCGQ2FGVMGR7NOH/06.2_Kamp-Whittaker.jpg Research - Children in the Historic Urban Landscape This is a new project that has recently received funding from a American Philosophical Society Franklin Grant. I am planning on conducting a comparative analysis of patterns in children;s objects in historic urban settings. This research builds off of my masters research and will involve a comparative analysis of existing collections held in several repositories. Collections selected were excavated from urban context with a mixed ethnic and socioeconomic background. https://www.aprilkamp-whittaker.com/pagecv daily 0.75 2022-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631502552359-KBLU2K4ZGMVDKVVP6079/Kamp-Whittaker_Headshot.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631411438376-RYPGZ7F7RNN5SVB6W19Y/Community+open+house+site+tour.JPG CV Teaching Experience California State University, Chico: Chico, California University of New Mexico: Albuquerque, New Mexico MSST 475/575 Museum Interpretation, 2021 - Instructor ANTH 1211 Archaeological Methods and Theory, 2021 - Instructor Arizona State University: Phoenix, Arizona ASB 101 Human Diversity, 2019 - Instructor Buried Cities and Lost Tribes, Teaching Assistant Food and Culture, Teaching Assistant Human Sexuality, Teaching Assistant University of Denver: Denver, Colorado Field School in Archaeology and Museum Studies, 2018 &2016 - Co-Field Director/Instructor Field School in Archaeology and Museum Studies, 2008 & 2014- Teaching Assistant Global Perspectives, 2009 – Teaching Assistant Cultured Ape, 2008 – Teaching Assistant University of Idaho: Moscow, Idaho Field School in Archaeology, 2010 – Teaching Assistant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631411297984-EV4L8UEVWIHEF6WN9HHQ/IMG_7579.JPG CV - Research Experience: Post-Doctoral Scholar, University of New Mexico, Department of Anthropology; Albuquerque, New Mexico (2020-Current ) Mimbres Pottery Digital Database Education Program Developer, Arizona State University; Tempe, Arizona (2018-19) Graduate Research Assistant Center for Archaeology and Society Arizona State University: Tempe, Arizona (2015-17) Graduate Research Assistant CNH: The Complexities of Ecological and Social Diversity: A Long-Term Perspective, Arizona State University: Tempe, Arizona (2014-15) Graduate Research Assistant Archaeological Research Institute, Arizona State University: Tempe, Arizona (2013) Archaeological Crew Chief, ERO Resources Corporation: Denver, CO (2010) Archaeological Technician, ERO Resources Corporation: Denver, CO (2008-10) Archaeological Analyst, GPR, Tophane Survey: Bursa, Turkey (2010) Archaeological Analyst, GPR, Amache Survey: Granada, CO (2008) Archaeological Analyst, GPR, Crawford Safe Project: Grand Junction CO (2008) Survey Crew Chief, Grinnell College Archaeological Field School: Flagstaff, AZ (2006) Lab Internship, Crow Canyon Archaeological Center: Cortez, CO (2005) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108ade624ac9e6d96261419/1631411185765-W8KPO6CTUJFO858KG13A/Incarceration+Center_Figure+1.jpg CV - Publications Peer Reviewed: Kamp-Whittaker, April. 2020 Diaspora and social networks in a WWII Japanese American Incarceration Center.
