Episode 3 (Part 3): The Origins of Anthropology - Indigenous and Feminist Anthropology
This is the final part of our current exploration into the history of anthropology and archaeology (for now! Give us another 20 years and we’ll be back at it). Going off of Part 2, in which we discussed Processualism and Post-Processualism, we wanted to take some extra time to talk about the incorporation of indigenous and feminist perspectives into the discipline, how that manifests and what it means for anthropology.
In this episode, you’ll learn about some early female anthropologists, the “Kennewick Man”, Kwäday Dän Ts'ìnchi and more! So much for this being a “little” episode, huh?
