DESCRIPTION:Lunch Club provides affiliates of the Stanford Archaeology Cent
 er with a community-oriented forum for engagement with current issues in ar
 chaeology. On February 4\, 2026\,  we will host Dr. Khadene Harris from Ric
 e University.\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis talk considers the theoretical potential
  of the plantationocene when viewed from the perspective of Dominica’s hist
 orical archaeology. Coined just over a decade ago\, the term ‘plantationoce
 ne’ was an attempt to characterize more precisely the devastating transform
 ation of diverse ecologies into enclosed plantations that relied on coerced
  labor. Despite the compelling premise\, the plantationocene has been criti
 cized for advancing a view of the plantation that obscures the racializatio
 n of power and the interventions made by the Caribbean's laboring class. Dr
 awing on archival and archaeological research\, this talk narrates the form
 ation of the plantationocene on Dominica and elaborates on the network of o
 bjects\, people\, and ideas that the working agricultural class mobilized i
 n response to the demands of the plantation economy. \n\nFor more informati
