Episode 11: Femmes in the Field of Anthropology

Jul 27

Join us this week as we talk about only a few of the many amazing womxn in anthropology! In this episode, we give a brief synopsis of the lives of Margaret Pattison Staples-Brown (or Makereti Papakura), Jane Goodall, and Dr. Alexandra Jones; an anthropologist in the past, one that really “changed the game,” so to speak, and one that is currently making her mark. There’s also a little bonus woman in anthropology for you to check out.

This is a “pre-episode” for a series of interviews of current womxn in anthropology that we will be releasing throughout August, while Kelsey is up north.
