Episode 5: A Hemisphere of Knowledge
In this episode, Pilar Zazueta and Daniel Arbino talk about archival materials presented in the Benson online exhibit A Hemisphere of Knowledge. How do these materials help us understand knowledge production in the Americas? The hosts also discuss the example of food (tamales! cassava! chocolate!) and its relationship to ancient and contemporary wisdom and cultural production.
