  • The Dialectical Primatologist: Dr. Nicholas Malone
    Welcome to the podcast Dr. Nicholas Malone, primatologist, evolutionary anthropologist, now not so secret surfer, and lecturer at The University of Auckland! Dr. Malone was a super fun guest to interview and on this episode we dive into a wide variety of topics including his favorite classes to teach, the inspiration for his new book title "The Dialectical Primatologist," as well as his advice to students. We talk his time studying endangered primates being sold in public markets of Java and his work there with Javan Gibbons. His time spent on Java during his PhD influenced him to continue work on Java, unlike a lot of other primatologists studying monkeys on other Indonesian Islands.
    Dr. Malone completed his MS at Central Washington University under the mentorship of Dr. Agustin Fuentes, and then his PhD with Joanna Lambert at the University of Oregon continuing to work in Indonesia. For his post-doc he went to the Congo to study Bonobos which he describes as a period of personal and professional growth. 
    He talks about journalling and ethnography in the field and the role they play in his work and specifically his writing. We also talk about his recent book, his writing process, influences including the 1985 book The Dialectical Biologist, and the unifying question of the book.

  • Applying Anthropology with Russell Nylen

    Welcome to the podcast Russell Nylen! Russell is an anthropologist by training who currently works at the Denver Food Bank as SNAP outreach representative with a focus on rural communities in Colorado. He discusses how his anthropological training has benefited him as a communicator and to be a better ally to people seeking food security. We chat about his time as a student at Syracuse working with the late John Burdick and the impact it has on his career going forward. After completing his degree Russell worked for the Peacecorps and Americorps and describes his experiences with the programs in this episode. An important part of our conversation is where Russell sees his research moving in the future. Russell wants to work in development, but in development that is sustainable and community driven. For his PhD research he plans to work in Brazil in a community that includes his own family. Russell had great things to say about his time visiting Brazil and how music and dance play a big part in the community values.

  • STEMsapien Games with Rose Leach Basom
    Welcome to the podcast Phd candidate at Kent State, Rose Leach Basom! Rose has a background in evolutionary and biological anthropology and is pursuing a career in forensic anthropology. We discuss being an intersectional anthropologist and how to communicate how anthropological skills can benefit younger students, even in their everyday life. We then move into her research while pursuing her master’s at Texas Tech. Her research centered around the selection pressures involved in how pelvic shape has changes with the invent of cesarian sections.
    She also details her field school selection process, explaining that paleoanthropology field programs in Africa were very cost prohibitive. This led her to a program through Texas Tech in Belize, where she was a student and returned for two seasons as a field director.
    Rose then took some time off after her masters, working as a death investigator and autopsy tech to get some experience in forensics before pursuing a PhD. She also had the opportunity to work as a researcher at Kyoto University for ten weeks conducting a research project through the primate research center.
    Currently, Rose is working on a way to introduce anthropology and evolution to historically underserved communities, through a board game company of her own invention Stemsapien games!
