  • Summary

  • Are you a student activist? Or do you feel school is missing something? Or is someone trying to keep you from learning about racism or sex or evolution or transgender people and you wish you had a way to push back? Many scientists and teachers have been working for decades reboot the public education system. Shouldn’t we use our 21st century knowledge to tell a story of the world for the 21st century? I’m from a tri-racial family of teachers, artists, and scientists. We’ve been connecting ideas to tell a bigger story of the world for almost a century. I’m a professional theatre artist and also a Certified Flight Instructor. I help create worlds to tell stories, and I can also teach you to feel science happening with your hands and feet.

    Our Lives Matter S1E34: Racism and Evolution
    Jul 18 2024
    Our species originated in Africa. At the time, there was no way for our ancestors to evolve a dislike for people from other continents, because there were no people from other continents. Racism is xenophobia connected to physical features of people from different continents. Imperialism and colonialism depended on the colonial governments writing different laws for different groups of people, which gave the colonizers the right to take land and resources from the people they were colonizing. Slavery was another way that laws gave different groups of people different sets of rights. Those different sets of laws created different…

    Our Lives Matter S1E33: Human Universals
    Jul 11 2024
    Anthropology is the study of differences and similarities among cultures. That means that similarities that all cultures share give us valuable clues to mental traits of our species. That gives us valuable clues to the brain structure of our species. At the same time, this paints a vivid picture of the diversity of humanity. Most of these universals are ways that people all over the world have thought of the same ideas, but found different ways to use them.
