Krysta Ryzewski is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Wayne State University. She is director of Digging Detroit project, an investigation of industrial and post-industrial urban communities in the Motor City. Dr. Ryzewski is a leading researcher in both historical and contemporary archaeology as well as in the digital humanities, all of which show her commitment to community-engaged field work that connects archaeological practice with current social debates. Her work has been funded by many agencies and in 2016 was featured in Science Magazine’s XX Files series. 

A social reception will follow Dr. Ryzewski’s talk in the AOB Annex Archaeology Laboratories.
