My guest today is Forensic Anthropologist Anna Dhody. What we talk about with Anna in part 1: Anna initially studied archaeology, influenced by visits to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia as a child. She developed a passion for archaeology at a young age, around 9 or 10 years old. Chose Boston University for its separate archaeology department, which offered more opportunities than those combined with anthropology departments. After attending an excavation in Belize during her sophomore year, she became interested in biological anthropology, focusing on human bones and their stories. She realized the competitive nature of academia and planned to pursue a master's in forensic science instead of a PhD. Anna wrote a thesis manual titled "The Underground Crime Scene" for law enforcement on how to excavate buried crime scenes, which gained unexpected international circulation. Applied for jobs after graduation and was scouted by the CIA but ultimately accepted a position at Harvard's Peabody Museum due to the need for osteologists for a NAGPRA project. Worked at the Peabody Museum for four years, taking advantage of free classes and gaining valuable experience. Became involved with a United Nations project in Peru to train local medical personnel in forensic anthropology, which turned into a significant teaching role. Returned from Peru and took a temporary position at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia.  What was initially meant to last five months ended up lasting nearly 20 years.  Anna's career path was shaped by a combination of luck and the challenges faced in the museum world, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities.

Just a few weeks after we released the What Remains series, news broke that the Penn Museum discovered additional remains of 1985 MOVE bombing victims in the museum.How did this happen?

Scientists say they've helped lay the foundations of forensic science and unlocked the secrets of humanity's shared past. But these bones were also collected before informed consent was the gold standard for ethical study. 19th and 20th-century physicians and anthropologists took unclaimed bodies from poorhouses and hospitals, robbed graves, and looted Indigenous bones from sacred sites.Now, under pressure from activists and an evolving scientific community, these institutions are rethinking what to do with their unethically collected human remains. In this series from Outside/In, producer Felix Poon takes us to Philadelphia, where the prestigious Penn Museum has promised to “respectfully repatriate” hundreds of skulls collected by 19th century physician Samuel George Morton, who used them to pursue pseudo-scientific theories of white supremacy. Those efforts have been met with support by some, and anger and distrust by others. Along the way, Felix explores the long legacy of scientific racism, lingering questions over the 1985 MOVE bombing, and evolving ethics in the field of biological anthropology.Can the institutions that have long benefited from these remains be trusted to give them up?

Dr. Julia is a biological dentist, accredited by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. She attended dental school in Indiana, where she first began her dental career. She went on to practice dentistry for several years at a holistic dental practice in Chicago. She was able to work closely in collaboration with Dr. Kevin Boyd, even serving as a research assistant for his anthropology research with the Penn Museum. Dr. Julia was practicing general dentistry, while still offering important services like infant frenectomies. Her passion for identifying and referring young patients to seek early interceptive solutions became one of her favorite parts of her profession. She has since created her own consulting business, Oris Wellness, to offer customized one-on-one support for parents in the topics surrounding airway dentistry. Her new Smile Support program will be launching soon, which will enable more structured ongoing assistance for the families she helps. More recently, Dr. Julia relocated with her husband and dog to Portugal. She is enjoying learning about how the perspectives and services that are offered in Europe vary from the training she received formerly in the US. Furthermore, she is enjoying the chance to be on this adventure and building out her next chapter with more intention.

How can we future-proof our economy?

Dr. Donald Guy Generals, President of the Community College of Philadelphia, Dr. Lovel Pugh-Bassett, President of Camden County College, and Sara Goldrick-Rab, author of the book, “Paying the Price: College Costs, Financial Aid, and the Betrayal of the American Dream,” discuss the varied programs, certificates and scholarships that can help pave a pathway to success.  Then, recovering the forgotten 19th-century neighborhood and the stories of between 5,000 – 10,000 mostly Black residents who were displaced during the mid-20th century, urban renewal that created University City.

Despite a plea from Abigail Adams to her husband to “Remember the Ladies,” women, especially married women, didn't have many legal rights in the Early Republic. Even so, women used existing legal structures to advocate for themselves and their children, leaning on their dependent status and the obligations of their husbands and the state to provide for them.  I'm joined this week by Dr. ​​Jacqueline Beatty, Assistant Professor of History at York College of Pennsylvania, and author of In Dependence: Women and the Patriarchal State in Revolutionary America.

Earth's history is marked with the rise and fall of many great civilizations. All of whom had their own ways of living and thoughts on dying.

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about returning to CBVI for JAWS training. I discuss a couple of funny moments from our Keystone Chapter meeting. One during the meeting and one at our post-meeting lunch at New Deck Tavern. I have a two-part Just Listen. The first is a clip from the Piano Bar with Eddie Salcido introducing his song Six Foot Under and then a portion of the song. And if you want to hear how I won $8.5 million, stick around until the end and part two of Just Listen.

In 2019, Abdul-Aliy Muhammad, a community organizer and journalist, learned that the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology had a collection of skulls that belonged to enslaved people. As Muhammad demanded that the university return these skulls, they discovered that claiming ownership over bodies of marginalized people is not just a relic of the past—it continues to this day.

ABC #048 - Part 2 Sara Yorke Stevenson was a self-trained Egyptologist, a founder of the Penn Museum, a leader in women's rights, and a popular newspaper columnist who gained respect from colleagues around the world – her story is told by fellow Laurel Hill Cemetery docent Pat Rose.

March is Women's History Month.  Dr. Nellie Neilson was one of the best – and best known – Medieval history scholars in the world, but she struggled to climb every rung to the top during her long career.  Sara Yorke Stevenson was a self-trained Egyptologist, a founder of the Penn Museum, a leader in women's rights, and a popular newspaper columnist who gained respect from colleagues around the world – her story is told by fellow Laurel Hill Cemetery docent Pat Rose. Elizabeth Head Fetter, older sister to maverick inventor Howard Head, was writing under the pen name of Hannah Lees about topics like masturbation and women's extra-marital affairs in the prudish 1940s, several years before the Kinsey Report was released. These three remarkable women shattered many glass ceilings in their long careers.  I hope you enjoy their stories.  

We meet artist Aubrey Levinthal from her studio in Philadelphia!!!Softly-rendered portraits by Aubrey Levinthal explore contemporary psychology. In the works, figures go about familiar daily routines - eating, sleeping and daydreaming. The artist is inspired by a range of modernist painters, from portraitist Alice Neel to collagist Romare Bearden and modernist David Hockney. Her intentionally muted palette of predominantly grey tones is created by layering light washes of oil paint onto panels, and then scraping them down with a blade. This technique renders the skin of her characters as almost translucent - either emerging from, or dissolving into, their surfaces.Much of Levinthal's recent work relates to the COVID-19 pandemic. The loneliness and claustrophobia of social isolation is told through melancholic facial expressions and slumped postures. Recurring motifs, such as browning bananas and unfinished meals, allude to the passing of time, while irregularities in proportion and perspective engage the ways in which a home becomes strange when you spend all your time within it. These details embody the crux of Levinthal's practice - how we inhabit spaces, and how they inhabit us.Levinthal's paintings focus on her own daily interiority and the quotidian, mostly situated in the home. More recently, Levinthal reflects on ones' relationship to the outside world and moves the psychology away from the isolated self to a more unknown drifting space. The paintings are infused with more daylight, colour has become brighter, and the figures are larger. Shared environments, such as neighborhood coffee shops, yoga studios, hospitals, hotels and pools are fraught with nuanced tension and personal connection. Levinthal heightens the psychological space between observing and knowing. The paintings explore a sense of insecurity, self-reflection and curiosity in collective spaces. In Bagel Line (2022), a group of friends situated outside a bagel shop huddle closely together in winter coats. Their expressions range from anxious to annoyed to eager highlighting ones' own duality. The artist projects an interior life onto these strangers: a barista, a person standing in line, a blue-haired teenager at a take-out counter, or a shopper in a clothing store. Within the paintings, objects take on abstract shapes and act as barriers. In Crab Shack (2022), two brown paper bags give the impression of a wall in front of a pensive young woman. Levinthal draws inspiration from the Renassiance period to Modernists such as, Mary Fedden (1915-2012), Milton Avery (1885-1965) and Fairfield Porter (1907-1975). Levinthal's tenderly observed paintings illuminate the strangeness of daily interiority and introspection. In Yoga Mat (2022), the viewer is confronted with a lone woman in a yoga pose. The figure also doubles as an ancient sculpture, most evident in the shapes used and the manner in which the feet are depicted, as if resembling stone. This painting was directly inspired by the Egyptian sculpture titled Statue of Sitepehu (1479-1458 BCE), which is part of the permanent collection at the Penn Museum, Philadelphia. The artist lives and works in Philadelphia, PA and is represented by Monya Rowe Gallery, NY.Follow @AubreyLevinthal on Instagram and their official website https://aubreylevinthal.com/ Follow their gallery: @Monya_Rowe_GalleryAubrey's new work is included in group show 'Close' at GRIMM Gallery curated by Talk Art co-host Russell Tovey from 4th March - 6th April, 2023 2 Bourdon Street, London (UK).

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about some good things and some bad things in iOS 15. At this point, the good out weigh the bad, but I've only been using the update for a few days. I also talk about the Keystone Chapter Christmas Party at the Penn Museum immediately following our monthly meeting. We also celebrated the chapter's 30th anniversary. Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/158 Huge Benefit Of iOS 15 I was a little slow updating to the new operating system. I always like to wait in case there are any major issues. Now that I have, I love the OCR features in photos. If there is any text in your image, VoiceOver will read it to you. Inaccessible Email Now More Accessible Shame on all those large companies that send out inaccessible email. I'm talking to you American Express, Eddie Bauer, Hilton, Outback Steakhouse, and, well, I could go on forever. With iOS 15, all those companies that refuse to use the alt tags properly in their email images get a little help. VoiceOver will now read most, if not all, text that is part of an image, in addition to saying what photo elements are in the image. Keystone Chapter Christmas Party It was so nice to be with so many Keystone Chapter members at our Christmas party. There was plenty of food and tons of fun. It was the first time in nearly two years that so many of us had all been together. In fact, we even got to meet newer members IRL for the first time.

"Especially when you're dealing with questions of representation of the past, politics around the past, especially when you're dealing with not just the past, but a violent past, right, it's ethically irresponsible to not recognise your own position in that conversation, in that space. And that doesn't mean that you necessarily take sides, but I do think that it means that you act as a connector for conversations.” Tiffany Cain, a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, and team member of the Tihosuco Heritage Preservation and Community Development Project, spoke to our own Ian Pollock at the AAA Conference in San Jose last year about her work with the local people of Tihosuco in Quintana Roo, Mexico. IN this jam-packed episode, they discuss the cultural history of Tihosuco and how it has influenced and constructed the identity of the local people today, question how we do anthropology with people who are no longer alive, unpack the process of knowledge collection in an 'umbrella' heritage project, compare solo and team ethnography, and reflect on the attachment that researchers have to their fieldsite. This episode was recorded at the AAA Conference, so you might notice a difference in sound quality - that's just because instead of recording in our usual studio back at HQ, TFS was on the go! QUOTATIONS “You're bringing so many disciplines together. You're talking about history, you're talking about art history, you're talking about archaeology, you're talking about anthropology.” “I think there has been a tradition in anthropology broadly where we like to be able to imagine ourselves outside of the communities within which we work, at least to a certain distance. And I think there is legitimacy to that – in many ways, we will always be Outsiders to our communities unless we are working within our own communities ... And even in that space there becomes a distance because of the ethnographic process.” “To deny that we have real impact in the communities that we work in is, you know, to misrepresent ourselves” Ian: “I would love to keep spending more time where I did my research!” Tiffany: “It's hard to let go” Ian: “Cause you're writing about it all day back in your office or wherever your home writing site is, you're writing about it all day. Your head is still there, it's hard to bring your heart home.” "A common misconception about archaeology is that we don't work with people who are alive." "History is way too big for any one person, but when one person holds this portion of the story, and another person holds this portion of the story. When these people meet the history gets longer.” CITATIONS & LINKS If you'd like to read more about Tiffany and her work in Quintana Roo, check out her website: https://www.tiffanyccain.com/ and https://www.penn.museum/sites/chc/projects/ Penn University also interviewed her in an article about the project and what is involved for the researchers involved that you can read here: https://www.penn.museum/sites/chc/506-2/ (there are loads more articles about sub-projects available too!)

At the Barnes Foundation, Nari Ward's direct engagement with issues of race, culture, and class in contemporary America makes for an interesting counterpoint to the African art collected by Dr. Barnes (and by the Penn Museum) in the early 20th century. Finally, the three shows of contemporary photography, textiles, and architecture that fill the first floor of the PMA's Perelman Building leave us with lots of questions about the “Africa” in “Creative Africa.” Just how fixed is regional or even national identity for both artists and artworks that circulate widely thanks to the global art market? What makes African art African?
