Questionnaire
“Decolonising Roman Greece: Archaeology of Roman Greece and its Heritage Value”
You are being invited to take part in a research project. Before you decide whether or not to participate, it is important for you to understand why the research is being done and what it will involve.
The main goals of this project are:
To generate a more holistic understanding of Greece’s history during the Roman Empire.
To identify the best ways to communicate archaeological knowledge on Roman Greece through museum collections.
To increase positive public engagement with this historical period.
The provided questionnaire will help us identify the language, values, and conceptions that define the current public engagements with the archaeology of Roman Greece and its heritage value. The data gathered through a questionnaire will be used in research and publications arising from the project. Your answers will be recorded anonymously, and your personal details, such as name, affiliation, phone number, address and email, will not be collected.
