International Women's Day (IWD): #BalanceforBetter
Introducing some of the amazing women in the CAAL team for International Women's Day. Let's build a gender-balanced world, from grassroots to worldwide action; this is a vital period of history where balance drives a better working world. Let's all help create a #BalanceforBetter.
Bakyt, celebrated Kyrgyz archaeologist. Her skills at promoting the preservation of Silk Roads sites and creating successful collaborative partnerships have brought Central Asian archaeology and heritage onto the world stage. Her smile and indomitable spirit are an inspiration.
Nurgozel, internationally recognised Turkmen archaeologist, specialising in ceramics, urban development, and heritage protection. Her knowledge and ability to encourage future generations through training and enthusiasm imbue the entire CAAL project with energy.
Kim, media maven and builder of partnerships and open access information. Her digital life on the project involves editorial, curatorial, and quality assurance. IRL she longs to join her teammates in snowy adventures involving brownies.
Ona, architect and heritage specialist focusing on large-scale digital mapping and inventories in support of heritage monitoring and management. She's our guide to all things built, Central Asian, Silk Roads, snowy selfies and hiking.
Rui, resident expert in Chinese archaeological heritage management. Her translation skills are second to none and she is the key component in liaising with our Chinese partners, as well as supplying the CAAL office with baked goods and a cheery disposition.
Yunxiao, current research on understudied oases sites of the Silk Routes in Xinjiang (her native province). Focusing on the management and sustainable use of such places, her analysis of desert landscapes is invaluable to the project, along with her intrepid spirit.
