本季節目的最後一集，正在準備升學的主持抱著在大學數年遇到的各種觀察與困惑，和嘉賓乘著越發熱烈的討論氣氛，開始交換在教／學路上的想法。如何平衡研究生／助教的工作負擔？助教之間如何互助，又如何為教／學議題進行討論？如何處理與指導老師既是同事又是師生的關係，以及與學生劃分界線？本集節目繼續由人類學系助教Amy分享她作為研究生的另一面，解答主持人的各種疑難。（本集以廣東話進行。）In the final episode of this season, the host—preparing for further studies—brings up various observations and questions encountered during their years at university. Together with the guest, and spurred by an increasingly lively discussion, they begin to exchange ideas about teaching and learning. How can postgraduate students balance their workload? How is the relationship between TAs? How do they navigate relationships with supervisors, who are both their colleagues and teachers, and where do they draw boundaries with students? This episode once again features Amy, a teaching assistant from the Department of Anthropology, who shares another side of her experience as a postgraduate student and responds to the host's many questions.(This episode is conducted in Cantonese.)00'15 謙卑學習 Humble learning06'05 TA互助會與AI議題 TA support group and discussion on AI12'30 研究生與助教的工作平衡Workload balance between postgraduate and TA18'50研究生／助教與老師的關係 Relationship between postgraduate student/TA and teaching faculty27'30 最後補充：Linus偏好的tutorial風格以及Amy的呼籲 Final remarks: Linus' tutorial preference, and Amy's reminderCredit: Opening and Closing Music "Pleasant Porridge" KevinMacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/系列介紹：你講我講人類學講，歡迎收聽「人類學咁講」，我是Linus。人類學家在研究的過程中，會花費大量時間和報導人聊天，參與他們的日常，建立比研究者/研究對象更深遠的關係。「對話」往往讓我們學到更多。在這一個podcast系列中，我會和不同對象輕鬆對談，展示更多人類學人的想法和故事。於我而言，人類學是有趣而充滿情感的學科，我希望可以把這些感覺呈現出來，也希望你會喜歡：）About the Series: Hi, anthro speaking. Welcome everyone to “Anthropology Says”, I am Linus, host of this podcast series. Anthropologists spend a lot of time chatting with our interlocutors, participating in their routines, and building a relationship deeper than a typical interviewer-interviewee one. “Chatting” in this sense can teach us things beyond our expectation. Through interactions in a casual setting, thisseries will focus on the less theoretical side of the anthropology life and showcase the ideas and stories of those of us in anthropology.

繼上集簡單介紹了人類學系助教Amy作為 TA的工作，我們繼續深入討論TA工作中遇到的情況。TA如何處理在教學中遇到的衝突？如何找到自己主持導修課以及和同學交流的風格？TA工作裡面有哪些趣事、煩惱和反思？ （本集以廣東話進行。）Following the previous episode where Amy shared her journey into becoming a TA, we dive deeper into the situations a TA might face. How does a TA handle conflicts between students and themselves? How do they develop their own style of leading tutorials and interacting with students? What hilarious and tricky incidents would they face in their work? In this episode, Amy, teaching assistant from the Department of Anthropology continues to share funny encounters, dilemmas, and reflections from her work.

Visitors and new residents to Japan are often surprised to see so many wonderfully cute and bizarre characters in Japan and the characterization of everything from safety announcements to tourism promotion. Dr.Debra Occhi has been studying the Japan world of characters for many years and shares some of her insights on the historical connections as well as how these characters function in business as well as for the benefit of society.

來到本季最後一位受訪者，我們把焦點放在課堂上可見但又不熟悉的群體 ——教學助理（TA）。相信同學們都會不時與TA聯絡（可能是交功課、請假），但又缺乏機會進一步聊天。誰可以做助教？除了開燈設定電腦、回覆同學電郵之外，助教的工作包括什麼？如何適應不同老師的教學方式，相輔相成？最難改的功課是什麼？本集節目邀請到在人類學系修讀哲學碩士的Amy分享她從美術系本科生踏入人類學擔任助教的種種。（本集以廣東話進行。）Arriving at the final interviewee of this season, we turn our focus to a group that is visible in the classroom yet unfamiliar to many – teaching assistants (TA). Students likely have interacted with TAs from time to time (maybe for submitting assignments or requesting leave), but there is rarely a chance to really get to know them. Who can become a TA? Beyond tasks like turning on the lights, setting up the computer, and replying to emails, what else does a TA do? What is it like to adapt to various teaching methods of different professors, and to create diverse learning experience?  How hard is it to grade papers? In this episode, we are lucky to have Amy, one of our TAs who just finished her MPhil in the Department, to share her experiences moving from an undergraduate in Fine Arts to becoming a TA in Anthropology.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement goons are murdering American citizens in Minneapolis, running concentration camps around the country - including Florida - and increasing their terror campaign in and around Orlando. The mission of ICE is to abuse Brown people, strike fear into their communities, and retrench white supremacy. Anthropologist and Puerto Rican/Hattian American Simone Delerme spent time studying the Latino community around Orlando, it's remarkable growth over the past 40 years, and how those residents are fitting into and remaking the area. Her book, "Latino Orlando," reveals her findings."Welcome to Florida" patrons receive exclusive access to our "Florida Conservation Newsletter" for only $5 per month.

Leila Philip discusses 19th-century anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan, who documented beaver dams in the Lake Superior Basin, where Philip recently observed centuries-old dams still continually cleansing water. Philip also details her immersion into the world of modern fur trappers, finding unexpected ecological knowledge and a deep connection to nature within that culture.

Episode 98 In 1999, Garland “Butch” Martin was convicted of killing his girlfriend, Marcia Poole, and her two young children, Brady and Kristin, and was sentenced on three counts of capital murder in Midland, Texas. The State told a compelling story: domestic abuse, accelerant-driven fire, pre-fire blunt force trauma, and motive. A jury believed it. Twenty-four years later, Butch Martin was exonerated. In Part Two of this two-part series, April breaks down what the jury didn't hear: conflicting fire science, flawed forensic anthropology testimony, discarded physical evidence, and the physics of fire that contradict the State's entire arson-murder theory. We examine the defense, the appellate process, modern NFPA-aligned fire investigation principles, and how the work of Dr. Gerald Hurst and John Lentini unraveled the narrative. Because before you can call something arson-murder, you have to prove arson — and in this case, there is zero credible evidence that this fire was intentionally set. In this episode we cover: The defense's accidental fire theory Conflicting chemical analysis (Norpar & “deparaffinated kerosene”) What Dr. Gerald Hurst and John Lentini found years later Why NFPA 921 rejects “pour pattern” folklore The missing extension cord and freezer on the back porch 40 mph winds and the physics problem for the State's origin theory Cerebral edema vs. “blunt force trauma” Anthropologist vs. medical examiner expertise boundaries The appellate court's reasoning for exoneration How wrongful arson convictions keep happening When you strip away mythology and examine only evidence, this case collapses. Every credible data point points to an accidental fire — and an innocent man lost 24 years of his life. The Crime to Burn Patreon - The Cult of Steve - is LIVE NOW!

About two million Guatemalans live in the US. But, half of those here lack legal status, and tens of thousands of Guatemalans are deported back to their country each year. Are the countries these migrants left prepared for an influx of returnees?  This episode, originally released in 2018, is part of the Making Contact Anniversary Capsule: celebrating 30 years of social justice journalism. The miniseries takes us from protests on the streets of Seattle to an Indiana family fighting for their daughter's gender affirming care. It explores a racial reckoning in the world of romance writers, and tells the story of border walls from Gaza to Arizona. These shows embody how Making Contact has been digging into the story beneath the story since 1994.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. Joan (a Catalan name, pronounced "shwan") is an Anthropologist currently living in San Sebastian, Spain. He also owns a travel company called Last Places. This endeavour was born from his love of exploring the last places on Earth and living with its inhabitants – places where no tourists exist. He adopted his grandmother's gaze on the world, living in life's mystical rhythms – following by what you feel rather than by just what you see. In service to this gaze, Joan has focused his life's energy to investigating and researching decaying traditions around the world. We talk about the Amazon, Cameroon, startlink-ification effects on tribal culture, fruit-cracking fish, thinking less v feeling more, dancing with wolves and churches, supermarkets and tracksuits. We may have also discovered a new emotion.

A provocative collaborative project, China as Context challenges the marginalization of Chinese-grounded ideas in academia, arguing that neglecting China distorts our understanding of global complexities. Through diverse ethnographic perspectives, this volume repositions China, urging a holistic, post-global approach to the social sciences amid shifting global dynamics. Decades-old calls to recognise China's significance for anthropological theory and the social sciences are more urgent than ever. Yet, Chinese-grounded ideas remain marginal, with China often seen as a distant “Other” rather than a source of widely applicable theory. Drawing on East Asian postcolonial scholarship, this volume argues that without taking China seriously as a knowledge producer and a key agent in a post-global world, social scientists risk misinterpreting the global present. As Western globalisation wanes and anthropology reassesses the relationship between ethnography and theory, we show how “China” must be understood as an ordinary, integral context for research worldwide. China as Context is edited by Di Wu, Andrea Pia, and Ed Pulford. Di Wu is an Anthropologist and Associate Professorial Fellow at the Institute of Anthropology, Zhejiang University, the People's Republic of China. Ed Pulford is an Anthropologist and Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester. Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training. He is a PhD candidate of Socio-cultural Anthropology at Tulane University. More details about his scholarship and research interests can be found here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Premise: Almost all leaders today lead in an environment that is ripe with disruptions and ever changing competitive landscape. The challenges of leading in this constantly evolving landscape are very different from that of leading in a stable environment where the current management practices are rooted in. So, if we have to succeed in this new world, we need to change the lens through which we view leadership and management practices. That begs the questions - where can we draw inspiration for the new way of leading. Thankfully, we don't need to look far. We can learn from Evolutionary Biology. Leading an organisation today and how evolution works are very similar - they are both a part of and navigate complex adaptive systems. And nature has had a long time to perfect the techniques and tactics that have allowed life to bloom. So, I think there are some interesting and important lessons that we can learn from nature and the evolutionary process. Foundational Tenets of Evolutionary Biology Here are the most fundamental and foundational tenets on which the entire field of Evolutionary Biology is based on: Random events produced the first signs of life. Since then, variation (mutation - adjacent possible and genetic drift - random shifts) provides the impetus for evolution. Selection acts as the fitness test (ability to reproduce and stay alive) Inheritance ensures successful traits are passed on to next generations. Deep time allows cumulative change to produce new functions or species. Over time, simple rules lead to complex patterns, behaviors and species. The starting of our organisation was the random event that started this journey of survival. Embrace Variation - Adjacent Possible & Genetic Drift All evolution happens when there is some sort of variation - either within the organisation or its context. This variation results in something new, which is then put through a rigorous test by its environment and only those variations that are able to navigate the environment successfully are then preferred. Every other variant slowly but definitely dies out. Similarly, as leaders, we need to create an ecology of ideas. We need to look at adjacent possibles (continuous improvement) in our area of work all the time. We should also be on the look out for the genetic drift (random, breakthrough ideas) which can help us shift the level we operate at. Every time something changes - internally within our organisations or externally within the context in which we operate in, we need to explore and come up with experiments and the one that is able to navigate the changes the best, needs to be promoted, while the other ideas slowly but surely die out. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Invite everyone on the team to constantly explore ways to improve the existing processes by running small SMART experiments. And once in a while (maybe quarterly), explore to identify game changing ideas. It is great if you succeed, if not, you would have atleast some more interesting experiments to run. Idea is to engage in the process. Selection acts as the filter for fitness Evolution uses fitness as the only filter to assess whether a variation in a species continues to evolve or simply goes extinct. It is nature's job to be always creating variations, testing them for fitness, promoting the fit one's to be passed on and killing off all other variations. It is exactly our job as a leader. We need to continue to create experiments (variations) both in the adjacent possibles and attempt at breakthroughs (genetic drift), give them some air to test and continue to invest in those that are providing to be successful and kill those that are not. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Lets ideas clash for investments - money, attention and time. Let the best idea (defined before the process is run) win, and let the rest die quickly. Inheritance of successful traits: In addition to variation, evolution also ensures that the successful traits are always passed down from one generation to the next. In exactly the same way, as leaders it is our responsibility to ensure that good ideas and what we learn is spread across the organisation and passed on. This can be done by creating systematic process for documenting and sharing of ideas - good one's that work well. In evolution, the only key criteria is for the organism to continue to survive as a species by reproducing itself. In business, the most important criteria is similar - to survive for another day. Anything that can help in this regard needs to be well known and well shared within the teams. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Ensure that best practices and good ideas are widely shared among the team so that everyone can learn and build on them. Let time play out The biggest strength of the evolutionary process is that it takes its time and is in no hurry. It allows for simple variations to compound over time to create complex abilities and species as a result. As leaders, we can also leverage the power of time on our side - by continuing to work on the different experiments, we are in a way creating a flywheel. This flywheel has the potential to compound over time and create an outsized impact for our business. We just need to trust in the process and let time do the rest. Actionable Tip for Leaders: Have a long term view and approach. Allow multiple small ideas compound over time. What does this mean for us as a leader? This requires us to shift from being a controller to a facilitator, creating environments that empower self-organization, experimentation, and optimizing for learning. We can do that by Encouraging exploration and manipulation of ideas and contexts Design robust feedback and feedforward loops for continuous learning Empower teams with autonomy and reward experimentation, even failures Value diversity and inclusion to prevent blind spots and foster robust solutions Be comfortable with ambiguity and utilize managed tension between agents as a driver for adaptive change and novel information Be responsive to environmental shifts Continuously modify internal models Implement continuous learning loops ("learning by doing") Leverage inherent resilience and self-organization of complex adaptive system Adopt adaptive governance with decentralized decision-making As leaders, we need to treat leadership as Experimentation. We treat decisions as hypotheses to be tested, learn from feedback, and adapt accordingly. Self Organisation and Emergence: In evolution, all of these principles when play out and result in what we call Self organisation and emergence. Emergence by its definition is random and can not be predicted in advance and is a result of self-organisation (there is no one in charge there). This also shows that the overall entropy in the system is ever growing (with variation and emergence). As leaders, we need to be aware and constantly looking for emergence as and when it emerges. Once we see what emerges, we can explore how to exploit the emergence towards our goals. Smart leaders are always on the lookout for emergence everytime, they change something - for both expected and unexpected consequences and deal with them in real time. Self-organized Criticality One of the results of emergence is also the concept of self organised criticality, where the response to a small action can be outsized and can cause ripple effects across the entire system (as in the last grain of sand falling on an already tall sand pile leading to the collapse of the sand pile). As leaders, we need to be constantly on the look out for such criticality building up within our systems and plan for the inevitable shock that will come. By being better prepared, we can not only minimize the shock but possibly even find ways to leverage the shock to accelerate our pursuit to our goals. Conclusion Evolutionary biology offers an invaluable lens for leading complex adaptive systems. By embracing variation, facilitating selection via feedback, prioritizing adaptation over prediction, cultivating self-organization and co-evolution, organizations can move beyond outdated management practices. When leaders act as adaptive facilitators, empowering systems to learn, evolve, and adapt to an unpredictable future, we build resilient and some times even an Anti-fragile organisation and that can lead to consistent and significant high performance over a long and sustained period of time in a turbulent environment. In the past few posts, we explore about how we can learn from Anthropologists, Behavioral Scientists, Coaches and Directors. As you can see, Leaders worth following can learn from anything and everything. In order to succeed in the ever evolving environment, we need to optimize for our learning ability.

Mikkel B. Rasmussen brings a rare lens to the AI conversation. As an applied anthropologist, he has spent decades helping companies like LEGO uncover what is really going on beneath the surface.In this episode, he shares how deep insight often begins with being wrong, why surprise is the clearest sign you have found something meaningful, and how the pain of not knowing is essential to breakthrough thinking. He also explains how AI is transforming his own research, from pattern recognition to video ethnography, and introduces a provocative idea: Anthropology Without Anthropologists.Jeremy and Henrik reflect on what it means to teach AI how to surprise us, how synthetic data might reshape experimentation, and why better insights begin with better questions.Key TakeawaysInsight starts with being wrongMikkel defines insight as the gap between how we think the world works and how it actually is. Anthropology helps uncover these mismatches, and that is where real breakthroughs begin.Pain is part of the processMikkel and Jeremy both reflect on the emotional struggle that precedes insight. The doubt, sleepless nights, and questioning whether the work will ever come together is not failure. It is a necessary stage of discovery.Surprise is a signalThe moment of surprise, when a new pattern emerges or an assumption is shattered, is at the core of applied anthropology. For Mikkel, it is the clearest sign that you have found something real.AI can accelerate experimentationMikkel shares how AI is already helping his team analyze patterns, run faster experiments, and even conduct interviews that outperform humans in some cases. The goal is not to replace people but to push the limits of what is possible.HARL: humanactivitylab.com00:00 Intro: Why This Conversation Matters00:25 Meet Mikkel: Founder of Human Activity Laboratory01:14 Understanding Anthropology and AI03:32 Applied Anthropology: Tools and Techniques04:56 The Role of Narratives in AI07:06 The Importance of Sensory and Social Dimensions13:06 Case Study: LEGO and the Anthropology of Play21:07 The Role of Surprise in Anthropology27:51 AI and Human Synergy31:26 Exploring AI's Limitations and Potential32:46 Anthropology Without Anthropologists34:17 AI's Role in Generating Insights37:23 Human Bias in AI-Generated Ideas42:05 Synthetic Data and Its Applications47:34 The Future of AI in Anthropology49:25 The Debrief

In this teaser, Jeremy and Henrik debrief their conversation with Mikkel B. Rasmussen, founder of the Human Activity Laboratory. They expected a conversation about AI's limitations, but got a rethinking of insight itself. They explore Mikkel's definition of insight as the gap between how we think the world is and how it actually is, why surprise is a critical signal, and how pain often precedes clarity. They also touch on Mikkel's experiments with AI interviewers that sometimes outperform human researchers, and why this episode challenged how they think about narrative, understanding, and the role of AI. Full episode LIVE NOW.

The culture that thrived at Teotihuacan in the Classic period has a unique place in Mesoamerican history. Today, it is held as an emblem of the Mexican national past and is one of the most visited archaeological sites in the Americas. Nevertheless, curious visitors are told that the ethnic and linguistic affiliation of the Teotihuacanos remains unknown. Whereas the decipherment of other Mesoamerican writing systems has provided a wealth of information about dynasties and historical events, scholars have not been able to access information about Teotihuacan society from their own written sources. Indeed, the topic of writing at Teotihuacan prompts several contentious questions. Do signs in Teotihuacan imagery constitute writing? If it is writing, how did it work? Was it meant to be read independently of language? If it did represent a specific language, then what language was it?Our guest: Dr. Magnus Pharao Hansen is an Anthropologist & Linguist who works as an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen.

In Episode 2 of "Exposed"  from our friends at San Francisco Public Press, we explore a little-known chapter in San Francisco's nuclear era: human experiments carried out to assess the health effects of radiation. Scientists from the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory, located at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, designed and executed at least 24 experiments that involved gathering data from humans — in some cases, injecting test subjects with radioisotopes or having them ingest fluids laced with trace amounts of radioactive materials. Even football players from the San Francisco 49ers were enrolled as test subjects in these so-called tracer studies. We hear from military veterans who were sent on a mysterious mission to spread radioactive substances onto rooftops at an Army base near Pittsburg, Calif., for an experiment the radiation lab played a role in designing. Some recount experiences of witnessing nuclear bomb blasts in the Nevada desert. We also examine a national pattern of human radiation experiments revealed by Eileen Welsome, the author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation, who shined a light on similar practices conducted by government facilities, hospitals and other institutions.  This miniseries first aired on Making Contact in February 2025.

Kevin Porter is an Anthropologist and Culture Change Consultant who has extensively studied the Australian construction industry. Kevin has spent his career studying human behaviour and providing leaders with the information they need to make choices, grow their businesses, and improve workplace culture. In this episode, Kevin explains the concept of culture from an anthropological perspective and describes his observations from his time embedded in the construction industry. He outlines how companies often have contradictory stated principles and practices, which can lead to significant physical and psychological harm for the employees, as well as major issues for the business. Kevin also emphasises that any industry can change its culture, but it has to put in the work. Mental health support: This episode contains discussions about suicide and mental health.

Esteemed forensic anthropologist, Dr. Erin Kimmerle, founder and executive director of the Institute of Forensic Anthropology at the University of South Florida, joins us to discuss her groundbreaking investigations into the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys. Dating back to the early 1900s, the Dozier School, once a juvenile reform institution in Florida; its reputation is now synonymous with the counts of horrific abuse, neglect, and torture suffered by the boys sent there, many of whom were Black and committed only minor offenses like truancy and trespassing. Many never returned home, dying while trying to escape or from forced labor and mistreatment. When the school was officially shut down in 2011, families and descendants of the boys sought answers about who was buried in its unmarked cemetery. With 81 recorded deaths but half the burial sites missing, Dr. Erin Kimmerle led a four-year investigation that combined archaeological excavation, cemetery exhumation, and criminal inquiry. Using ground-penetrating radar, DNA testing, forensic art, and historical records, she helped uncover one of America's darkest and most shameful chapters, while drawing attention to the injustices juveniles still face today.We also explore the broader pursuit of historical justice, connecting the Dozier investigation to similar mass graves—such as those tied to Canada's Indigenous residential schools and the Tuam Mother and baby home in Ireland. And yes, there's even time for Amelia Earhart! Be sure to purchase Dr. Erin Kimmerle's book, We Carry Their Bones: The Search for Justice at the Dozier School for Boys!

Jitske Kramer is a corporate anthropologist, an inspiring speaker, entrepreneur founder of HumanDimensions, and author of the book, “Tricky Times: Navigating The Messy Middle of Change” in which she deciphers the complexities of transition and transformation. Mike Petrusky asks Jitske about the concept of liminality, which refers to the transitional phase during change, where old ways no longer apply, but the new ways are not yet clear. This phase is characterized by uncertainty, anxiety, and the potential for creative solutions, so they discuss how cultures are created through the processes of interaction and decision-making and explore why understanding these processes can help leaders influence and guide cultural shifts within organizations. Jitske believes that the physical layout of workplaces and environments reflects the cultural narrative and values of an organization and facility management leaders can influence that narrative by rearranging the physical world. Mike and Jitske discuss the value of effective communication and offer the practical advice and inspiration you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

A new analysis of an ancient hominid skull from China challenges what we thought we knew about our ancestral family tree, and its timeline—at least according to the researchers who wrote the paper.

They also discuss Hunter’s book, “Spirits, Gods, and Magic: An Introduction to the Anthropology of the Supernatural.”

Talia Weiner is a psychological anthropologist, licensed professional counselor, and assistant professor of psychology at the University of West Georgia. As a medical and psychological anthropologist, her work focuses on the intersection of social-structural forces and how those forces show up in lived experience, particularly in relation to mental health care. Weiner studies these and other topics with students in the Clinical Ethnography Lab within the University of West Georgia's psychology program. Weiner has an upcoming book titled Therapeutic Inequalities: Mood Disorder Self-Management in Chicago, scheduled for release Jan. 6, 2026, through NYU Press's Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice series. In this interview, Weiner discusses how conservative sociopolitical trends influence psychology and mental health care—how, for example, people with bipolar disorder are expected to monitor and manage themselves in ways that are not only unrealistic but also blur the lines between self and disease. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Drawing on James Baldwin's influence, Pandian reveals how our built environments and habits foster suspicion, loneliness, and disconnection. They exacertabe the ruthlessness of our political age. Onishi and Pandian discuss how activism, like the “Aunt Flow” movement, and simple neighborly acts can help rebuild empathy and community.
