On today’s podcast, Jessica hosts Dr. Ora Marek-Martinez (Diné, Nez Perce, and Hopi), Director of Northern Arizona University’s Office of Native American Initiatives and the Native American Cultural Center and Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department. They discuss Dr. Marek-Martinez’s journey to become an anthropologist and negotiating different understandings of anthropology between the different cultures she was raised in. Discussions also include how to improve anthropology as a discipline (including reading recommendations) and how faculty can better support Indigenous students. They close out with a discussion of season 4 of the Sapiens podcast that Dr. Marek-Martinez co-hosted and Jessica highly recommends.
