Human to Human is a podcast where I get to chat with different students and faculty about what they find interesting about studying anthropology. Since anthropology can sometimes feel like a mysterious discipline, the goal of these conversations is to shed light on what it looks like to study human culture in today’s world, and why anthropological work remains a meaningful field of study.
Through the interviews, listeners will get a more in-depth look at the different subfields within anthropology. For instance, how the approach to studying humans and culture differs between archaeology, biological/physical anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. As well as listeners will get to hear about some of the topics anthropologists are interested in learning more about.
My hope is that by the end of this series, people will get a glimpse into:#1. Why anthropology is so cool.
#2. How anthropology is relevant to all of our lives.
#3. And how anthropology isn’t just about studying bones.
