    Dr. Amy Anderson Returns!

    Hello dear listeners! Thank you for your patience these past several months. As many of you may remember, Amy Anderson was the first ever guest on That Anthro Podcast, and she return today (4 years later) as Dr. Anderson. Amy did her PhD in Biological Anthropology at UC Santa Barbara, and is currently doing post-doctorate research at the Max Planck Institute. In this episode we cover how the pandemic shaped the last few years of her PhD research, her current research, as well as her new found hobby - foraging. We discuss applying to jobs and post-docs, the role of storytelling in knowledge production, and how we've changed since the first episode came out four years ago. I hope you enjoy this episode. Follow Amy on instagram @autobiography_of_red and @hiddencityforaging

    Bioarchaeology: Ensuring a Future (episode 3 of 3)

    This is the third and final episode of the Bioarchaeology series. This episode tackles the question "why is bioarchaeology an important area of study?" The first part, featuring interviews with Dr. Haagen Klaus, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, and Dr. Jessica O'Reilly, regarding the applications of bioarchaeology to climate change research. The second part focuses on some of the changes necessary to further grow the field and better engage with the public. Finally, Dr. Jane Buikstra, Dr. Amy Anderson, and Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, explain why they think bioarchaeology is an important area for future research.

    Bioarchaeology: Assessing the Present (episode 2 of 3)

    This is episode two of three in the Bioarchaeology, the past, present, and future series. This episode, Assessing the Present, builds off the previous episode's discussion on the methods bioarchaeologists use, and presents some of the newer, developing methods and technologies that are shaping current research in the field. This episode also dives into some of the important ethical considerations surrounding this type of research, and specifically discusses this as it relates to Native American groups and descendants. Additionally, this episode features interviews with several bioarchaeologists: Dr. Haagen Klaus, Dr. Amy Anderson, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, and PhD student Meg Hardie.

    Bioarchaeology: Addressing the Past (episode 1 of 3)

    This is the first of three episodes in the Bioarchaeology, past, present, and future series. This series answers the question "what is bioarchaeology" in an understandable yet nuanced way. This episode, Addressing the Past, covers the basics of bioarchaeology, including how it differs from archaeology, basic methods used, and the history of physical anthropology. It also includes interviews with several prominent bioarchaeologists (Dr. Jane Buikstra, Dr, Clark Larsen, and Dr. Haagen Klaus) about their take on the development of this field of study.

    Trailer: Bioarchaeology, the past, present, and future

    This is a trailer for a three part mini-series entitled "Bioarchaeology, the past, present, and future" airing on That Anthro Podcast, Wednesday May 8th. This series will dive into the history of what was once known as physical anthropology, as well as how various events and shifts in research paradigms have led us to the field of bioarchaeology as it exists today. I will also unpack the prominent methods utilized in bioarchaeological research, and addressing some of the changes that still need to be implemented to make the field even more ethical. In this series you won’t just hear from me, you’ll hear from some of the researchers themselves regarding their work, their vision for the future, and why bioarchaeology is an important area for continued study. Such guests include Dr. Jane Buikstra, Dr. Clark Spencer Larsen, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, Dr. Jessica O’Reilly, Dr. Amy Anderson, and Dr. Haagen Klaus.

    Hunter-Gatherer Bioarchaeology with Dr. Dan Temple

    Today on the podcast I interview my Master's advisor at George Mason University, Dr. Daniel Temple. Dr. Temple is an Associate Professor who studies early life stress and resilience in prehistoric hunter-gatherer populations primarily in Japan, Alaska, the Aleutian islands, and Siberia. We cover a wide range of topics including his academic journey starting with community college to where his is today at GMU. Dr. Temple received his PhD from The Ohio State University where he worked with Dr. Clark Spencer Larsen. His dissertation was a large scale study of the consequences of the agriculture transition in prehistoric Japan to gain a comprehensive understanding of the response to agriculture in the region. We touch on his previous positions as a Professor, getting his master's degree in England, how he met Dr. Haagen Klaus, and his experience working with Don Ortner at the Smithsonian. Additionally, he explains the goals of an ongoing international and interdisciplinary project focused on producing high resolution life histories of hunter gatherers in the Eurasia region from 8,000-4,000 years ago, called the Baikal Archaeology Project https://baikalproject.artsrn.ualberta.ca/. We end our discussion by talking about where he sees the need for change in bioarchaeology and the importance of public facing anthropology.  If you would like to contact Dr. Temple about the graduate program at GMU please do so via the email listed on the department website linked here https://soan.gmu.edu/people/dtemple3 Follow @thatanthropodcast on Instagram, and @ThatAnthroPod on Twitter for more behind the scenes content.

    2023 Recap with my Housemate, Gréta Kühne

    In this episode I interview my friend, classmate, and housemate Gréta Kühne. Gréta is originally from Budapest, Hungary and moved to the United States 2018 to attend the University of Idaho where she was a part of the track and field team. We talk about how she decided to major in anthropology and how she fell in love with bioarchaeology in particular. We also dive into her experiences in graduate school so far, including the NSF funded research trip she took this summer to Peru to collect her thesis data. Gréta shares about her time in Peru both collecting data and visiting museums and archaeological sights. We also preview what our 2024 will look like as we both enter our last semester of school and work on our theses. Enjoy!

    Sharing anthropology with the public: Lidiia Tulenkova (@ladyanthropologist)

    This week Lidiia Tulenkova (@ladyanthropologist) a graduate from the University of Toronto (with a degree in Sociocultural Anthropology) joins the podcast. Lidiia moved to Canada at age 18 from St. Petersburg, Russia, and shares her experience attending University in Canada and learning English. We then discuss how she found her passion for anthropology, and how sad it is that so many people don’t know what our field encompasses. Additionally, she explains how her instagram page @ladyanthropologist started, as well as her approach to content creating and how that approach has developed over the last few years. Lidiia is passionate about visual anthropology and translating knowledge into an engaging medium that helps publicize anthropology, which she engages in on her instagram page (and now Youtube). She also shares details about her new Youtube channel and the first video she launched called “Boys Don’t Cry: Ethnography on Men’s Mental Health.” Lastly, we talk about her life and job post-grad! Check out her YouTube channel below and follow her on Instragram. https://www.youtube.com/@ladyanthropologist.
