  • Anthropology's Racist! What's New?
    Dec 14 2023

    It's that time of year again when I upload and act like I have been here the entire time! In today's episode, I am joined by my classmate, Bella, to discuss the development of race and culture throughout anthropology's history. Not only do we discuss the key contributors to the development of the anthropology we know today, but we also discuss the voices on the margins and question why they were put there in the first place. Today's episode ends with us asking, "How do we decolonize anthropology?"

    *I promise this is more entertaining than it sounds*

  • We Learned Violence From You
    Jan 7 2021

    Welcome to 2021! On Wednesday, we watched as Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, an act of domestic terrorism. We watched as the rhetoric changed to make their actions more palatable, a privilege not given to the many BLM protests that happened over the summer. So, consider this an open letter to everyone who has finally grasped the meaning of empathy! In this episode, I talk about violent resistance and America's favorite teacher, white people!
