In theory, this special interest seems a good idea.
People starting off in archaeology often need help/guidance and advice, as in any other career......maybe more so in the undefined chaos that is an archaeology career.
I am puzzled as to why this is (at the moment) a special interest, surely it is fundamental?
Also I am shocked to here that new members don't have as much say/ influence in the institute! Or is this just an apparent fact.
That they need a special group to make sure they have equal say smacks of deeply ingrained inequalities.
I could be wrong.
But the only way to change something is from within.
