Today we dive into the life and research of the lovely Mallory Melton, UCSB PhD candidate. We discuss her road to anthropology, how she overcame certain barriers with the help and support of many mentors. She has distinguished herself in her academic studies, with a string of publications, workshops, guest lectures, honors, awards for being an outstanding TA, and many conference presentations. Her dissertation research focuses on the Mesoamerican sites of El Ujuxte and La Blanca, investigating questions like: How can we look at these plant remains and examine social diversity across these sites? She also explains how Mesoamerican studies rely heavily on indicators such as social diversity to make an argument for urbanized life and urbanism in Mesoamerica. Were people living in groups, such as economic or ethnic enclaves, and can we see this in through the food? She also explores urban sustainability and food security at these sites. She studies other topics in Peru, Southeastern, MIdwestern, and Northwestern America. We also talk about her adorable and smart dog Gizmo!

In this episode, we have a great conversation with UCSB PhD candidate and Environmental Historian Elijah Bender. Elijah's focus is on resource management in Kai province, the domain of the Takeda clan and Takeda Shingen. The discussion ranges from how resource issues effect people at the local level to the highest levels of the Takeda clan, and how the management of resources effect all levels of planning and decision making for a Sengoku Daimyo.
