I’m very proud to be a part of this podcast and one of the hosts on this episode:

Issues of Alt-Right and White Nationalist Groups Co-Opting History

White supremacists and the alt-right often use of history and archaeology as a mechanism to ‘legitimize’ their claims. Join us as we discuss this trend from the misrepresentation of Norse history to the misbelief of a racially pure Greek and Roman world. These groups have twisted the past to their agenda in dangerous ways.  What can we do to combat this trend?

For the first time ever, all our hosts are in the same location for episode 65!! Come take a listen to all the amazing things that were presented at the conference. Revel in positivity as much as you can! The last segment of the episode we dive into the nitty gritty of SAA’s inaction regarding a known sexual predator in attendance. These statements were all made as of the Saturday evening of the conference. TRIGGER WARNING: contains discussion on sexual abuse, institutional inaction, and trepanation.

Show Notes:

Despite the shadow that fell over much of the conference, some pretty badass work was presented. Check it out here: Program for SAA 2019

Notes on other fun topics include: an article on the lady mentioned by Chelsi who recorded her self-trepanation in the 1970s.

Here are the important pieces to know regarding the The ineffectual SAA Anti-Harassment Policy, and the 2015 statement on sexual harassment. In the week since recording and then posting this episode, the SAA has responded with the following: A public apology to the membership, andan open letter to the membership for the chance to do better. Note there is no real plan of of action.

We explore the concept of intentional or “utopian” or “communal” communities throughout North America. Intentional communities include the Shakers, the Harmony Society, The Oneida community, Brook Farm, the Moravians, the Kawah Colony, and Mormon towns.

We visit with Stacy Kozakavich, the author of a new book by University Press of Florida, The Archaeology of Utopian and Intentional Communities, and ask her about her inspiration for the book, the role intentional communities have taken in shaping North America, and why they continue to be important in society.

As a thank you to our listeners, we have included a discount link for the book, direct from the publisher! Follow this link and use code: WA18 at checkout.

On this episode, the hosts return to one of their favorite topics – the amazing women who have helped make archaeology the field it is. We’ll talk about some of our personal heroes, women who definitely don’t get enough credit, and how archaeological drawing is super hard and becoming somewhat of a lost art.

We cover what is zooarchaeology (in short animal bones), how it has been used to learn about humans and the world in the the past, and some of the projects she works on. We also discuss some of Alex’s work on various science communication projects.
