Welcome to 'The Kurdistan in America' podcast, the official podcast of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Representation in the United States.

In this fourth episode of season five, host Delovan Barwari welcomes Mr. Stephen Fox, a PhD student at the University of Kentucky's Department of Anthropology, where he also serves as a Graduate Teaching Instructor. Stephen's primary focus is on Cultural Anthropology with a particular interest in Kurdish culture and history. 

This episode centers on anthropology, inspired by the recent discovery by University of Cambridge scientists of the Neanderthal woman, Shanadar Z, found in Kurdistan's Shanadar Cave. The two delve into the historical significance of anthropology for the Kurds, its role in shaping Kurdish cultural identity, and its impact on contemporary Kurdish society.

Stephen also shares insights from his recent visit to the Kurdistan Region for his PhD research, along with reflections from his Masters research and personal experiences with the Kurds.

Stay tuned for this timely and much-needed conversation with Mr. Stephen Fox.
