Chen examines the Chinese Nationalist government's distinctive support for private Muslim teachers schools between the 1920s and 1940s, and explores the complex relationship between these institutions and the Chinese state during the Republican period. In 1933, the government issued the Teachers Schools Regulations, mandating that all teachers schools be state-run. However, the Nationalists viewed private Muslim teachers schools as valuable allies in their efforts to assert influence in China's Muslim-dominated northwestern frontier region and deliberately refrained from enforcing the 1933 Teachers Schools Regulations on them. Instead, the government applied the 1933 Amended Private Schools Regulations, which did not specifically address teachers schools, to govern Muslim teachers schools. By charting the evolving dynamics between the Nationalist state and Chinese Hui Muslims, Hui Muslims in the Shaping of Modern China: Education, Frontier Politics, and Nation-State (Routledge, 2025) reevaluates the Hui Muslims' role in shaping modern China. Offering crucial context on the role of Islam in modern China, this book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Chinese history, as well as for policymakers and journalists interested in religion in China. Bin Chen is Assistant Professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He received his PhD from Pennsylvania State University, and his research interests include China's modern transition and Islam in China. His publications have appeared in The Journal of Asian Studies, Journal of Modern Chinese History, International Journal of Asian Studies, and others. 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.

Food justice activists have worked to increase access to healthy food in low-income communities of color across the United States. Yet despite their best intentions, they often perpetuate food access inequalities and racial stereotypes. Hanna Garth shows how the movement has been affected by misconceptions and assumptions about residents, as well as by unclear definitions of justice and what it means to be healthy. Focusing on broad structures and microlevel processes, Garth reveals how power dynamics shape social justice movements in particular ways.Drawing on twelve years of ethnographic research, Garth examines what motivates people from more affluent, majority-white areas of the city to intervene in South Central Los Angeles. She argues that the concepts of "food justice" and "healthy food" operate as racially coded language, reinforcing the idea that health problems in low-income Black and Brown communities can be solved through individual behavior rather than structural change. Food Justice Undone: Lessons for Building a Better Movement (U California Press, 2026) explores the stakes of social justice and the possibility of multiracial coalitions working toward a better future. Hanna Garth is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University, author of Food in Cuba: The Pursuit of a Decent Meal, and coeditor of Black Food Matters: Racial Justice in the Wake of Food Justice. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

Before SURVIVOR was popular, people in the 1920's would find themselves on an isolated, inhospitable island, driven by survival and searching for that one piece of personal peace and salvation.Ron Howard's EDEN kinda does that with a bunch of sexy actors enacting the true story of a group of people setting up life in the Galapagos Islands. What ensues is a pinch of madness. A crumble of humanity and plenty of foul behavior.Depending on who you speak to, this is either "not bad" or "straight down the middle". That equates to a whole bunch of mediocrity. But it's coming out near Valentine's so, all is forgiven!

In this episode of Reverb Effect, we follow the journey of Ugandan cultural artifacts from removal to repatriation, and what happens when they return home. Tracing historical materials and their layered afterlives as they moved from colonial Africa to the Cambridge Museum and back to the Uganda National Museum, we explore how collecting trajectories stripped objects of meaning, and how present-day recovery raises complex questions about belonging and identity. Cheyenne Pettit received her PhD in History in 2025 and is now Assistant Professor of History at Missouri Southern State University. Talitha Pam is a PhD candidate in the joint doctoral program in Anthropology and History, and a 2025-26 Graduate Student Research Fellow at the University of Michigan Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “There's always another way of looking at things. Collaborators win bigger—in business, families, communities, everywhere.” In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike sits down with Priscilla McKinney—CEO and “Mama Bird” of Little Bird Marketing, author of Collaboration Is the New Competition, keynote speaker, podcaster, and lifelong creative. From growing up as part of a traveling Christian family band to building a thriving B2B marketing agency, Priscilla shares her remarkable journey of resilience, reinvention, and redefining what leadership looks like. She opens up about the tornado that destroyed her studio, the anthropology roots that shaped her worldview, the collaborative mindset behind her book, and the power of creating something from nothing. Whether you're a marketer, creative, entrepreneur, or leader, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about how work gets done—and why collaboration beats competition every time. Key Themes: Creative roots matter. Priscilla's childhood—writing skits, spoofing commercials, performing with her family—instilled a lifelong belief that ideas can come from anywhere. Anthropology shaped her business philosophy. Her cultural anthropology background trained her to see multiple perspectives and understand human behavior—an essential lens for modern marketing and collaboration. Resilience can redefine your path. After a tornado destroyed 35% of her town and her studio burned down weeks later, Priscilla rebuilt with clarity and purpose, eventually creating Little Bird Marketing. Collaboration outperforms competition. Her book breaks down the mindset shift required to work collaboratively and the “anchors” needed to make collaboration sustainable long‑term. Writing is never a solitary act. From scribes to editors to industry peers, Priscilla highlights how creating a book is inherently collaborative—even when the ideas are your own. Self‑publishing can be a strategic business choice. With an existing platform, team, and marketing machine, Priscilla turned her book into a powerful calling card for speaking, podcasting, and client growth. Little Bird Marketing thrives in B2B. Her team blends creativity with serious revenue discipline, helping high‑ticket B2B brands stand out, differentiate, and grow.

The Rt. Reverend Matthew Heyd, Episcopal Bishop of New York, preaches on Sunday, February 8th.

In her hosting-debut episode, Addie Lutes talks with Dr. Rich about his passion for anthropology, how it's used in the world and what it means for the future. Host & Editor: Addie Lutes

ANTHROPOLOGY REGENERATES CULTURE. Simone Verde is a museologist and art historian who was appointed Director of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy, in December 2023, replacing Eike Schmidt who moved to Capodimonte. From 2014 to 2016 Simone Verde was head of scientific research at the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, and from 2016 to 2023 he directed the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta in Parma, Italy, whose total restoration and refurbishment he completed. Verde studied Theoretical Philosophy in Rome and Paris, has a doctorate in Anthropology of Cultural Heritage, and a degree in Museology and Art History at the École du Louvre. "The strength of art, of heritage, is its capacity to regenerate itself through centuries and time and cultures." "The icons of the museum are promoted by social media, and this is both an opportunity and a problem." "We have to be a universal museum in terms of audiences. That makes the work we do much more complicated."

Durante décadas, povos originários, exploradores e caçadores relatam a aparição de uma criatura simia, meio homem e meio macaco, que vive nas florestas do norte dos Estados Unidos e do Canadá. Até hoje, muitos cientistas procuram provas da sua existência e também tentam explicar um vídeo polêmico que nunca foi totalmente refutado. Esse é o podcast Clube dos Detetives e hoje nós vamos falar sobre o Pé-Grande: será que ele existe?• VERSÃO ESCRITA:- https://www.podcastcdd.com.br/post/110-pé-grande-verdade-ou-farsa-mistérios• INDICAÇÕES:- Filme: Willow Creek- Documentário: O Mistério de Varginha• APOIE O PODCAST: - Apoia.se: https://apoia.se/clubedosdetetives- PIX: podcastcdd@gmail.com• REDES SOCIAIS:- Site:⁠ ⁠http://www.podcastcdd.com.br⁠⁠- Instagram:⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/podcastcdd/⁠⁠- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podcastcdd- E-mail: podcastcdd@gmail.com• FONTES: Voices: The Journal of New York Folklore, Searching for Sasquatch, Live Science, University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, Strange Magazine.

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.

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. To me, anthropology is full of sentiments and fun, which I hope to share in these episodes. Thank you for listening :)

The idea for Liz Organ's thesis, "The Makings of a Good Birth," emerged from a moment of doubt about career paths and a deep frustration with how often women are ignored in the birthing process. What began as a casual discovery of the differences between doulas and midwives, and whether this could be a potential career path, turned into an interview-based anthropology project examining how birth is experienced, remembered, and shaped by culture, history, and power. Drawing on conversations with nine people, the thesis traces the evolution of American birthing culture, and explores different anthropological birth care models and individuals' personal experience with the medical system. In this episode, Liz also reflects on the challenges of researching a highly specialized topic without a dedicated advisor in medical anthropology, and on learning to let interviews guide the research. Tune in for reflections on centering people's stories, the rewards of interviewing family and friends, and why education, autonomy, and support are ultimately essential to a good birth.

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.

Adam Louis-Klein is a writer, anthropologist, and musician, currently completing a PhD in Anthropology at McGill University. His work explores Jewish peoplehood, Jewish sovereignty, and contemporary forms of anti-Jewish hate, drawing connections between civilisational identity and the politics of indigeneity. SBS Hebrew talked to him about his work and understanding of the current times - in particular his analysis of Antizionism as a mythological phenomenon.

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.

Podcast host Rosemary Armao talks with another stand-out activist who've gone into action against the Trump administration — Marianna Achlaoug of Albany Indivisible. A state worker, the 28-year-old began resisting authority as a teen with her mother fighting fracking in Schoharie County. She is expert at rousing crowds with chants over a bullhorn.Marianna Achlaoug, 28, is a community organizer and civil rights advocate who believes that in the fight for justice, there can be no peace without accountability. A state worker, she holds degrees from UAlbany  in Communication and Anthropology. Currently serving as Chair of Organizing for Indivisible Albany, she has a track record of turning community opposition into tangible results. Most notably, she served as the lead organizer for the Albany chapter of the Coalition to Stop Avelo, a national grassroots campaign that pressured Avelo to end deportation flights under a contract with Homeland Security. When not drafting mass informational emails for community partners, speaking at rallies or yelling into a bullhorn, you can find her at singing and dance lessons, theater and classic cinema.

My guest today, Sarah Oresnik, is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at McMaster University. Their research interests centre around food insecurity and its impact on our health and wellbeing. Within their PhD, their focus is on how youth navigate food insecurity, looking at youth experiences in Southampton, UK. Sarah grew up in the kitchen learning recipes from their parents and grandparents, which has translated to their continued investigations and reflections on their own food environment.   In our conversation, Sarah shares about their current research working with teens in the UK to explore the merits and challenges of their school nutrition programs. They highlight the limitations of daily food allowances and electronic payment options, the impacts that food insecurity and cultural experiences have on shaping food preferences and values, and does a brilliant deep dive challenge the very idea of what "cultural foods" can be for teens in diasporic communities.

An ethnography of indigenous lives amidst subsistence labor, large-scale logging, and unrealized schemes, We Stay the Same: Subsistence, Logging, and Enduring Hopes for Development in Papua New Guinea (U Arizona Press, 2024) traces how hopes for development in New Hanover, Papua New Guinea, are cultivated, frustrated, and yet continually renewed. On New Hanover Island in Papua New Guinea, Lavongai communities have long pursued transformative development through logging and large-scale agroforestry projects, only to see forests disappear and livelihoods deteriorate. In We Stay the Same, Jason S. Roberts follows the various Lavongai encounters with multinational special agricultural and business leases that promised sustainable growth but instead deepened inequality and risk. Blending ethnographic and ecological research, Roberts traces how Lavongai people navigate subsistence, dispossession, and what he calls a “political ecology of hope,” showing how aspirations for a better life are continually cultivated, disappointed, and yet never fully abandoned. Jason S. Roberts is a practicing anthropologist who currently works on subsistence policy and natural resource management issues in Alaska. He completed his PhD at the University of Texas at San Antonio and previously served as a visiting assistant professor of anthropology at Drew University. His work and research engages interests in development, sustainability, climate change, hope, and environmental justice. 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.

TCP's inaugural episode features Suraj Yengde and Anupama Rao, two scholars whose academic work and activism have helped to set the parameters of the contemporary debate on caste.

This week Dr. Hettie V. Williams is in conversation with Dr. Jeanne Theoharis about the Civil Rights Movement in the North. Williams is professor of history in the Department of History and Anthropology at Monmouth University and the current director of the African Diaspora Studies Program at Monmouth. Theoharis is Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. She is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks and winner of the 2014 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work Biography/Autobiography and the Lettia Woods Brown Award from the Association of Black Women Historians. She is a renowned scholar of the Black freedom struggle in U.S. history and society. In this conversation, we focus primarily on the latest book by Theoharis King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr's Life of Struggle Outside of the South (The New Press, 2025) that argues King's northern campaigns were fundamentally instrumental in shaping his larger quest for equity and justice across the nation. King spent substantial time in the North first as a student then as a mature activist in places such as New Jersey, New York, and in cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles. Theoharis in fact advances the thesis in King of the North that locales such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago were “at the heart of his campaign for racial justice.” This groundbreaking book disrupts our understanding of the Civil Rights Movement in a myriad of ways.

In January 1996, residents of the quiet Brazilian city of Varginha began reporting something unusual in the skies above their neighborhoods. Witnesses described a low-flying object—long, cylindrical, and trailing smoke—moving erratically over the city before disappearing from view. In the days that followed, the story took on a far stranger dimension, one that would transform a routine sighting into one of the most enduring and controversial UFO cases in modern history. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following a recent press conference held in Washington, D.C., involving a UAP case with international significance, we examine the famous Brazilian "Varginha Incident" and the reports from local civilians at the time who claimed to have encountered a small, non-human creature.
