On this episode of the podcast, host Amanda Head dives deep into the contentious world of academic research with Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at San Jose State University and author Dr. Elizabeth Weiss, known for her truth-telling book, "On the Warpath: My Battles With Indians, Pretendians, and Woke Warriors." They explore the critical tension between identity politics and objective truth, particularly in the fields of anthropology and forensic science. Dr. Weiss argues that the reburial of skeletal remains without clear tribal connections obstructs the education of future forensic anthropologists and results in the loss of invaluable historical information. The duo also unpacks the increasingly complex and polarized landscape of academic discourse in America today, challenging everyone to reconsider the priorities and practices within scholarly research.
