## AnthroAlert## Episode 57: BioarchaeologyOriginally aired 1 June 2018 on bullsradio.orgOur guest this week, Heidi Miller, will discuss the process work in bioarchaeology.Heidi Miller is a PhD student in the Applied Anthropology program at the University of South Florida with a focus on bioarchaeology. Heidi’s main interests lie in the identity and health of enslaved individuals in the Caribbean. She is especially interested in the ways in which enslaved individuals retained their identity and/or created a new identity after forced migration to the islands of the Caribbean, and the ways in which this can be seen in the bioarchaeological record. In addition, Heidi works in the Zooarchaeology and Historic Archaeology Laboratory and is President of the Graduate Student Organization. Outside of the university, Heidi works as a CRM archaeologist and has conducted excavations in seven states, with the majority of her work occurring in North Dakota.Previously, Heidi earned her MSc from the University of Indianapolis with a thesis focused on the use of cranial measurements to identify individuals of French ancestry and its application to unknown individuals from the historic period. She earned her BA from Ohio University with a major in Anthropology.## Podcast link## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsaxhttp://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785CC License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Jungle Tracking" by pingnewshttp://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

## AnthroAlert## Episode 56: Anthropological Entrepreneurship Originally aired 1 June 2018 on bullsradio.orgOur guest this week, Dr. Deneia Y. Fairweather, will discuss the process for turning a degree in anthropology to a practice in entrepreneurship.Dr. Deneia Y. Fairweather is an applied anthropologist and educational consultant who works with school administrators, educators, families, and youth to develop and implement inclusive practices for exceptional students—that is to ensure that all exceptional students have equal educational, social, and future outcomes as their peers.After working over ten years in the public educational system in the United States, Dr. Fairweather believes that applying disruptive innovation into traditional educational environments is the best way to advance the social, emotional, and academic development of our youth.Dr. Fairweather is the founder and owner of ESE Consulting, LLC, an exceptional student educational service that focuses on results-based solutions for educational environments. This service offers site specific professional development opportunities for educators and enrichment opportunities for exceptional youth through her program called Anthropology in Motion ™ (AIM). You can find more information about AIM on Dr. Fairweather’s photoblog www.kulchakomplex.com.Dr. Fairweather holds a doctorate degree in Applied Anthropology from the University of South Florida, Tampa and a Masters in Education from the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg. She also holds a Professional Educators Certificate from the State of Florida with certifications in exceptional student education, reading education, elementary education and a gifted endorsement.Dr. Fairweather’s research focused on how educational exclusion is produced among African American male youth in Hillsborough County Public Schools. Educational exclusion is a process where students and their families are denied access to certain levels, places, privileges in the educational system. This process is usually the first step towards producing student drop outs. Using a multidimensional approach to capture the problem including Photovoice, interviewing, and participant observation and a theory of practice, Dr Fairweather’s research revealed that exclusion is produced by interacting social forces that are often too subtle or hidden to detect and identify. She calls for educational environments to serve as a place of healing with an honest collaboration among educational stakeholders to help produce equal educational outcomes for all students.## Podcast link## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsaxhttp://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785CC License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Jungle Tracking" by pingnewshttp://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

## AnthroAlert## Episode 55: Refugee Resettlement Programs in Tampa FloridaOriginally aired 25 May 2018 on bullsradio.orgOur guest this week, Dr. Dillon Mahoney, will present on anthropological work with refugee resettlement programs in Tampa Florida.Dillon Mahoney is an Assistant Professor in the USF Department of Applied Anthropology and received his Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Rutgers University in 2009. In addition to teaching and research, he coordinates the undergraduate internship program and advises the Swahili Students Organization. His early research, summarized in his 2017 book The Art of Connection (Univ. of California Press), focused on how Kenyan art traders and informal businesspeople struggling around Kenya’s tourism industry adapted cell phones and internet access to their business strategies. This early research focuses on globalization and small-business development, digital technologies, and culturally constructed notions such as risk and transparency.Dr. Mahoney’s ongoing research explores environmental change and conservation in Eastern Kenya and Swahili-speaking Congolese refugees in Tampa, FL. The ongoing research in Kenya is being conducted in collaboration with colleagues from the National Museums of Kenya and focuses on conservation and conflict resolution outside of Chyulu Hills National Park. Since late 2016, Mahoney has also been involved in multiple projects in collaboration with the Florida State Department of Children and Family and local resettlement services looking to aid newly resettled Congolese refugees. Projects, which involve multiple USF collaborators, have focused on topics such as transportation, school bullying, nutrition and diet, changing gender and family dynamics, and reproductive health. He is currently helping coordinate a Congolese youth group, Umoja wa Afrika - Tampa (Africa United - Tampa), which produces educational Swahili-language YouTube videos designed to help newly arrived refugees adjust to Tampa and the United States more broadly (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf0Q8qO_qvo&amp;t=148s ). This research has pushed the definition of applied anthropology, and has involved everything from collecting heights and weights, teaching English and Swahili, helping import and locate African cloth and food, directing youth-group skits, and demonstrating how to use fire extinguishers and clean toilets.Dr. Mahoney was quoted in a front-page Tampa Bay Times story earlier this year: http://www.tampabay.com/news/War-refugee-tries-to-emulate-village-chief-father-after-trading-Africa-for-Tampa-Bay_163025193## Podcast link## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsaxhttp://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785CC License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Jungle Tracking" by pingnewshttp://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

## AnthroAlert## Episode 49: Street PeddlersOriginally aired 27 April 2018 on bullsradio.orgThis week guest, Miguel Garcia, discusses the topic of his Master's research on the impact of San Jose's street peddler policies.Miguel Garcia is a Xicano applied anthropologist, and in May 2018 will officially graduate with an MA in applied anthropology from San José State University. His research interests include activist research, immigration/citizenship, race and power, the politics of sports, and spatial politics. Miguel plans to pursue a Ph.D. in anthropology but recently accepted a position with the State of California’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education.Miguel’s research project focused on the impact of San José’s street peddler policies in conjunction with federal immigration policies on local undocumented Mexican street vendors. For example, the study probed the impact of San José’s special event policy, beginning with the National Football League’s (NFL’s) mandated temporary “clean zone” ordinance, which banned street vendors from downtown while San José hosted Super Bowl 50 (SB 50) in 2016. Similar policies that ban street vending are evident in other downtown San José events, such as the annual Christmas in the Park. Through race and space, these policies criminalize street vendors. Additionally, Donald Trump’s federal immigration policies fueled the creation locally of Migra Watch, a community defense network for undocumented families and their allies to report and respond to ICE raids. By combining activities in Migra Watch with ethnography from street vendors’ experiences, Miguel articulates the criteria needed to improve undocumented street vendor workspace and life.## Podcast link## Video link## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsaxhttp://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Jungle Tracking" by pingnewshttp://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 29: Applied Anthropology

# AnthroAlert## Episode 12: ParentingOriginally aired 11 August 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, we examine the anthropology of parenting.Our guest, Anna Davidson Abella, will help us to discuss anthropological approaches to understanding parenting.Anna received her B.S. in Anthropology from USF in 2004 and went on to complete a joint M.A. in Anthropology and Women’s and Gender studies from Brandeis University in 2006. She returned to the Tampa area to work in the non-profit sector as a program director for an organization that provided social and emotional education programs to youth throughout Hillsborough County. After five years in this field, Anna returned to USF to pursue her Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology. Her focus of study ultimately became oriented around parenting, as both professional and personal experiences converged to open up new insights into social implications of parenting. She is currently in the writing stage of her dissertation with plans to graduate in December 2017.The purpose of this research is to understand local definitions of what it means to be a “good” parent. The mixed-methods approach combining participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and electronic survey shows that parents rely heavily on children’s developmental milestones as markers around which parenting strategies should be oriented and as a pathway to being a more nurturing and loving parent. The practices embodied by the parents – most of whom are middle class stay at home mothers - reflect widespread professional ideologies of child development that focus on the importance of parenting a particular way in the early years in order to mitigate future risks. Spending focused time with children was also a motivating factor for many of the mothers who chose to stay home to raise their children. Parents’ beliefs in nurturing their children’s developmental abilities are consistent with notions of concerted cultivation, which are drawn from Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital. This work therefore explores implications of who “good parenting” is accessible to, and how structural supports in our society may be reimagined to allow all parents to realize their ideal approaches to parenting.## Podcast link## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/p5LqjcpRH-0## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Daddy and Levi by Tammy McGaryhttps://flic.kr/p/aT1MJnCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

She is currently in the writing stage of her dissertation with plans to graduate in December 2017.The purpose of this research is to understand local definitions of what it means to be a “good” parent. The mixed-methods approach combining participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and electronic survey shows that parents rely heavily on children’s developmental milestones as markers around which parenting strategies should be oriented and as a pathway to being a more nurturing and loving parent. The practices embodied by the parents – most of whom are middle class stay at home mothers - reflect widespread professional ideologies of child development that focus on the importance of parenting a particular way in the early years in order to mitigate future risks. Spending focused time with children was also a motivating factor for many of the mothers who chose to stay home to raise their children. Parents’ beliefs in nurturing their children’s developmental abilities are consistent with notions of concerted cultivation, which are drawn from Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital. This work therefore explores implications of who “good parenting” is accessible to, and how structural supports in our society may be reimagined to allow all parents to realize their ideal approaches to parenting. ## Podcast link ## Video link<a href="https://youtu.be/p5LqjcpRH-0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/p5LqjcpRH-0</a> ## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompson<a href="https://flic.kr/p/9zVPYB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/p/9zVPYB</a>CC License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/</a>Daddy and Levi by Tammy McGary<a href="https://flic.kr/p/aT1MJn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/p/aT1MJn</a>CC License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/</a> ## Intro music credit:Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkaba<a href="http://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345</a><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a> See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.

# AnthroAlert## Episode 09: Forensic AnalysisOriginally aired 21 July 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, we look at applications of forensic anthropology.Our guest, Liotta Noche-Dowdy, will present on using multi-isotope analysis to aid with the identification of unidentified decedents in the Tampa Bay area.Liotta Noche-Dowdy is a Ph.D. student of applied anthropology at the University of South Florida.Liotta Noche-Dowdy originally grew up in San Diego, CA and has her first undergraduate degree from UCSD in Visual Arts.Years later her and her husband moved to Tampa Bay for him to finish graduate school. She went back to school in 2002 part-time to earn a second undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences from USF while also raising a family. Inspired by learning pathology and other biochem methods, Liotta eventually stumbled upon the work of Biological Anthropologists of Dr. Kimmerle and Dr. Madrigal from the Dept of Anthropology and decided to complete a minor in anthropology as well. Anthropology made such an impact she decided to take the chance and dive into graduate school under the mentorship of Dr. Kimmerle, completing her masters degree in 2015 and continuing to pursue her PhD with Dr. Kimmerle as her advisor.Her focus within the field of biological anthropology includes bio-archaeology and forensic anthropology and utilization of stable and heavy isotope analysis to help investigate past diets and migration patterns of historic human populations or even in current forensic or cold cases with unidentified decedents. Along the way, she’s had the opportunity to work along side many geochemists, forensic anthropologists and archaeologists that helped guide and train her with isotope analysis, excavation methods, and with other biological methods with estimating a biological profile for unidentified decedents in a historic or forensic setting.She looks forward to continue to learning and understanding new technological advancements that will help aid in identification with forensic cold cases or with understanding the past histories of our previous ancestors. ## Podcast linkhttps://anthroalert.tumblr.com/post/167768014538/anthroalert-episode-09-forensic-analysis## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/rBd8soOpH0A## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Image provided by Liotta Noche-Dowdy## Intro music credit:Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

# AnthroAlert## Episode 14: Community ArchaeologyOriginally aired 26 August 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, we engage further into the discussion around heritage and historical archeology.Our guest, Dr. Diane Wallman, will speak about ongoing archaeological research at the Judah P. Benjamin Confederate Memorial at Gamble Plantation Historic State Park, in Ellenton, Florida.imageDr. Diane Wallman is an Assistant Professor in Anthropology at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She is a historical archaeologist who works on sites associated with Atlantic Slavery. As a zooarchaeologist, her research focuses on issues of human-environment dynamics during the colonial period in the Caribbean, Southeastern United States, and West Africa.imageWe will discuss ongoing archaeological research at the Judah P. Benjamin Confederate Memorial at Gamble Plantation Historic State Park. Gamble Plantation is an important site for Florida and Tampa Bay history and heritage. Major Robert Gamble Jr. was one of several planters who established sugar plantations along the Manatee River in the mid-19th century. Gamble arrived in 1844 with a small group of enslaved individuals and purchased land to the north of the river for sugar cane production. Using slave labor, Gamble erected a tabby mansion that still stands on the parcel today, along with a large tabby cistern and several outbuildings. During the Civil War, Captain Archibald McNeill, a famous Confederate officer, temporarily occupied the premises. Confederate Secretary of State, Judah P. Benjamin, escaping Federal troops, took brief refuge on the property in May of 1865. After the war, George Patten bought the property, and his son constructed a Victorian-style house on the property in 1895. The house was relocated in the 1970s where it remains on park property today.Ongoing archaeology research at the site, via archaeological field school, aims to expand on the understanding of the nuanced history at the site, including a diachronic and spatial examination of landscape transformation and material culture. During the field schools, the excavations are open to the public, and we invite community members to participate in the dig. The significance of the project encompasses more than just the history of the mansion, Robert Gamble, and the confederate occupants. Archaeological research focuses on a multidimensional exploration of the varied histories and occupations at the site, including the enslaved peoples who lived and labored on the plantation.## Podcast linkhttps://anthroalert.tumblr.com/post/168715318729/anthroalert-episode-14-community-archaeology## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/h1vnE8jeZ28## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/DSC_0182_pp by Walterhttps://flic.kr/p/oHMPPWCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

## AnthroAlert## Episode 27: Ryan HarkeOriginally aired 12 January 2018 on bullsradio.orgGuest Ryan M. Harke is a PhD Candidate in archaeology at USF. He grew up west of St. Louis, Missouri, earning his BS in Anthropology at Missouri State University in 2008, and he later earned his MA in Applied Anthropology from USF in 2012. In between degree programs, Ryan spent a couple years working for cultural resource management (CRM) archaeology firms throughout the Midwest and Southeast United States, and worked as a public archaeology coordinator for the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) at Flagler College, respectively. He is actively involved in Florida archaeology projects across the state, and teaches Introduction to Anthropology and Introduction to Archaeology at USF.Ryan’s research interests combine anthropological archaeology with the life sciences. He is a Florida (prehistoric) archaeologist primarily interested in the relationship between small-scale foraging economies and fragile ecosystems. As such, he studies the Florida Keys and its aboriginal occupants. Ryan uses a method called sclerochronology (performed on archaeological and modern shells) to determine past environment, climate, and the seasonality of occupation at island sites. In so doing, he is able to ask questions about settlement patterns, resource exploitation, and even cultural affiliation.## Podcast link## Video link## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsaxhttp://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Jungle Tracking" by pingnewshttp://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In so doing, he is able to ask questions about settlement patterns, resource exploitation, and even cultural affiliation. ## Podcast link ## Video link ## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompson<a href="https://flic.kr/p/9zVPYB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/p/9zVPYB</a>CC License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/</a>## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsax<a href="http://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785</a><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/</a>Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkaba<a href="http://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345</a><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a>There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadow<a href="http://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402</a><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a>"Jungle Tracking" by pingnews<a href="http://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ccmixter.org/files/pingnews/13481</a><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a> See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 08: American Stories

# AnthroAlert## Episode 18: Archaeological MethodsOriginally aired 29 September 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, we explore how archaeological methods and modern technology help us to better understand the earliest neolithic sites in Western Europe.Our guest, Dr. Robert Tykot, will present on current research in Western Europe.Robert H. Tykot is a Professor at the University of South Florida, where he has been for 21 years since receiving his PhD from Harvard University. His research emphasizes scientific analysis of archaeological materials such as obsidian, pottery, metals and marble to study trade and technology in the Mediterranean world, as well as skeletal remains to look at diet and mobility in many parts of the world. Professor Tykot has more than 185 published books and articles, and has presented more than 475 times at national and international conferences. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Editor-in-Chief of the journal Science and Technology of Archaeological Research, and has reviewed submissions to 70 different journals and book publishers, and for 18 grant agencies in 9 different countries. Professor Tykot has received from USF an Annual Global Award acknowledging his outstanding contributions to the USF System’s global mission.At USF, he teaches courses on Ancient Diet, Ancient Trade, Archaeological Science, Mediterranean and European Archaeology, and Fantastic Archaeology. His current graduate students come from Italy, France, Peru, and the USA.For the last several years, Tykot and colleagues have been surveying and using remote sensing to assess the earliest neolithic sites in western Europe, in the Tavoliere region of southeastern Italy. Many sites have been identified and surveyed, with large numbers of pottery sherds and stone tools recovered. Based on the chronology and the physical material found, we argue that domesticated plants and animals and the practice of year-round settlements passed from eastern Europe across the Adriatic Sea to this region ca. 8000 years ago. Pending external grant funding, we hope to conduct formal excavation of 1 or more of these large residential settings which were enclosed within circular ditches. Tykot also conducts elemental analyses using a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer on the obsidian, flint, and ceramic artifacts in many parts of Italy and nearby countries to determine their origin and reconstruct directions and frequency of trade and interaction across great distances. Obsidian has been identified as coming from geological sources hundreds of miles away, with significant overseas travel. Separately, in his lab at USF Tykot conducts isotopic analyses on human remains to reconstruct their individual dietary practices and origins, in order to compare differences based on sex and/or status and how they changed over time. This research is on multiple projects from Europe, where seafood has been found to be a negligible part of the diet while millet was introduced from Asia, and in the Americas where maize spread further south than thought in South America, and earlier than expected right here in Florida.## Podcast link## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/pRJGgogBqms## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Italy by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center https://flic.kr/p/nWqvZGCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/## Intro music credit:There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

# AnthroAlert## Episode 11: Heritage StudiesOriginally aired 4 August 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, we discuss how anthropology helps us to better understand culture and national identity.Our guest, Vivian Gornik, will present on heritage and museum studies.Vivian is a PhD Candidate in applied anthropology at the University of South Florida.She has a BA in Anthropology and an MA in Museum Studies from the University of Florida. As a cultural anthropologist she combines her interest in anthropology and museum studies by studying the people who visit museums and heritage sites.Vivian just completed the fieldwork for her dissertation project, which explores how heritage and national identity are linked at two sites in England: Glastonbury in Somerset and Tintagel in Cornwall. The goal of this research is to better understand the role that heritage sites and museums play in the production of national identities, especially in today’s global society where conceptualizations of national identity are becoming more difficult to define. The post-Brexit United Kingdom is a particularly strong example of a nation going through an identity crisis. What does it mean to be British? Do heritage sites in the U.K. represent a specific kind of national identity? Or is there the potential for these sites to engage with the U.K.’s multicultural reality?By better understanding the ways in which current heritage narratives are produced and consumed, suggestions can be made for how heritage can become more inclusive and representative.## Podcast link## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/wxLQ0PgCH6I## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Sitting on top of forever by Nelo Hotsumahttps://flic.kr/p/dagF8mCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

# AnthroAlert## Episode 13: Druze IdentityOriginally aired 18 August 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, our guest, Chad Radwan, will present on how expanded educational resources focused on Druze history might strengthen collective notions of community and Druze particularism.Chad Radwan is a recent graduate of the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida. As well, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in anthropology at USF in 2006 and his Master’s degree in applied anthropology in 2009. His thesis is titled Assessing Druze Identity and Strategies for Preserving Druze Heritage in North America, and he worked to apply his findings through the oldest Arab-American mutual aid Society. For his dissertation research, Chad traveled to Lebanon in 2014 where he studied how educational resources focused on doctrine and history might strengthen the ethnoreligious Druze community. His dissertation is titled The Sweet Burden: Constructing and Contesting Druze Heritage and Identity in Lebanon and he has presented on his research at a number of Druze conventions, both domestically and internationally, and at academic conferences. Chad’s upcoming article, Economic Adversities and Cultural Coping Strategies: Impacts on Identity Boundaries among Druzes in Lebanon, will be published in the early 2018 issue of Economic Anthropology and he is currently writing an article focusing on the social obligations and financial pressures that shape modern weddings among young Druze. Chad has worked on a variety of research projects in Public Health and in the Information Management Systems Engineering and helped to create and disseminate the largest single health assessment of an older adult population. This research resulted in a paper titled, Villages of Opportunity: Increasing Health and Quality of Life in Older Adults, coauthored with the Dean of the College of Public Health at USF, Donna Petersen, which was awarded the American Public Health Association’s prestigious Erickson Foundation Research Award.The Druze are a ethnoreligious community that mainly preside in Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Northern Jordan. They practice a strict form of endogamy and neither proselytize nor recognize a method of conversion. Their inner-teachings of their faith are require a knowledge that is passed down among male and female sheikhs, who represent a fraction of the worldwide Druze community, living relatively modest lives ideally devoted to the attainment of spiritual knowledge. Among a number of other factors, the majority of Druze individuals in the countries of origin and in the diaspora have a pronounced gap in their knowledge of their history and the basics of their doctrine. I conducted research to understand how expanded educational resources focused on Druze history and the elementary tenets of the faith might strengthen collective notions of community and Druze particularism. The research identified a number of gaps where formal resources are lacking and how existing seminars, study groups, community events, etc. might be increased, improved, or made more accessible. As well, having conducted 91 qualitative interviews, research informants discussed how a collective belief in reincarnation, shared political interests, and their minority status, shaped their Druze identity and sense of community in Lebanese society, which is often divided along sectarian and confessional lines.## Podcast linkhttps://anthroalert.tumblr.com/post/168640542395/anthroalert-episode-13-druze-identity## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/VCpCJi6Gj-Q## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/The market at the Druze village Daliyat al-Karmil. by Shiran Pasternakhttps://flic.kr/p/ccCwFwCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/## Intro music credit:Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkabahttp://ccmixter.org/files/jlbrock44/33345CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 35: Heritage Management

# AnthroAlert## Episode 07: EducationOriginally aired 7 July 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, guest Dr. Rebecca A. Campbell discusses the topic of education in an increasingly global climate.Dr. Rebecca A. Campbell is a researcher at the University of Connecticut working on a National Science Foundation project that aims to understand cultural models and social networks and how they relate to success for women and underrepresented minorities in diverse engineering undergraduate degree programs. She is in the process of disseminating her dissertation research, which looked at issues of equity for racial, ethnic, and linguistic groups in elementary schools in the Florida Heartland.As a result of globalization and modern society, people are moving to new places and their acceptance into new societies often engenders struggles. To look at how people are socialized into lifeways of more or less opportunity, I conducted research in the Florida Heartland during 2014-2015. I conducted a school ethnography of two elementary schools in a Florida county I refer to as Central, which has agricultural and religious roots that run deep. The agricultural heart of the county has been and currently draws people to the area for work, which can raise language and citizenship issues. The past incorporation (or lack of) of American Indians, blacks and African Americans, Latinos, and whites is also relevant to opportunities for people from various groups in the area today. Among my major findings are:1. There is rich linguistic diversity in Central County, Florida with 5% of mothers and 5% of fathers of the 1,330 students I surveyed in the schools speaking an indigenous Mexican language (including Mixtec, Zapotec, Bajo, Nahuatl, Trique, Huasteco, and Tarasco). This raises relevant issues of linguistic accessibility, given the Migrant Advocates working in the school system speak Spanish/English. This linguistic diversity is not found in school records, as registrars sometimes re-form the language of students and parents in records by recording “Spanish” when parents report speaking indigenous languages (such as Trique, Nahuatl, Mixtec, or Zapotec).2. Connected to the first point, the schools (and state of Florida) actively erase the racial (American Indian) and linguistic identity of their students through reporting processes and registration practices. For instance, at the middle school I observed, I found that according to school records, 10% of children were American Indian. However, the state reports and the school operates on that notion that around/less than 1% of students are American Indian (because according to the Florida Department of Education and Central Schools, you can only be Latino, not Latino and a member of a racial group).3. Migrant Advocates aid families, especially those who are mixed-status, Mexican American Indians, with access to healthcare by providing them with information on clinics that will accept undocumented people, take cash, and offer reasonable rates. Migrant Advocates also provide information to women suffering from domestic violence and mental health issues and also take children to eye appointments. This is important because current research is lacking on health information for Latino families that are mixed-status and indigenous.4. The schools do a good job at offering some programs that meet needs of minority students and enrich the education of all students; increased program accessibility would ensure that the benefits of these programs are maximized. School and District employees are unaware that there is a significant population of Mexican American Indians in their schools, and therefore miss out on opportunities to better serve their students through more culturally appropriate pedagogy. These realities, coupled with racial, ethnic, and linguistic difference in access to school resources, socialize children into differing futures in the local county. I offer specific applications on how the issues raised in my research can be addressed.## Podcast linkhttps://anthroalert.tumblr.com/post/166543296751/anthroalert-episode-07-education-originally## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/ioBTyUk8WKQ## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/superscheelihttps://flic.kr/p/qMre86CC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/## Intro music credit:Awel by stefsax http://ccmixter.org/files/stefsax/7785CC License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
