On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Eric Pinto (Assistant Director at the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian studies at Washington University in St. Louis; Descendant of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Pueblo of Zuni). The Buder Center is part of the Brown School of Social Work, Public Health, & Social Policy that offers the only social work program in the country with an American Indian/Alaska Native concentration. The two talk about Eric’s transition from personal training to getting a Master's in Social Work and how the social work program led him to cultural projects, archaeology, and land/cultural resource protection efforts through the Buder Center. We also discuss the Buder Center’s Indigenous community and Tribal Nation engagement efforts, including an ongoing trail marker tree initiative, as well as their student practicums, scholarships, and events. Additional topics that came up during our conversation include land acknowledgements, the Urban Relocation Program in the 1950s, enrollment, and blood quantum.

On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Dr. Shayla Monroe (Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University) and Debora Heard (Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago). The three talk about Nubia and its people (both ancient and modern), why they have been overshadowed, and why they are important. We also talked about what got them interested in this topic, what they are studying now in Nubia, and how the war in Sudan has affected their work and their colleagues. Finally, we talk about where they would like to see the study of Nubia go, including their efforts to co-found the William Leo Hansberry Society.
