Hello everyone,
This is a friendly reminder that the last event in the Racial Justice Event
Series is taking place this Wednesday March 23rd from 18:00-17:30. Our own
anthropology podcast Talking Culture will host a panel discussion with the
hosts of the podcast Zora's Daughters.
Alyssa A.L. James and Brendane Tynes are two Black women
anthropologists-in-training who follow in the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and
other Black women ethnographers. In their podcast Zora's Daughters, they dig
deeper into social issues in a way that is accessible and entertaining. By
prioritizing the issues of Black women and other marginalized groups, they
empower listeners to develop the tools and language that start conversations
and spark change. Their conversation with the Talking Culture hosts, Meghan
McGill, Daniel Chiu Castillo, and myself, will touch on podcasting as
pedagogy—the teaching and learning that takes place on Zora's Daughters and how
anthropology departments can better become more encouraging, nurturing, and
safe spaces for Black students.
This event is open to all members of our anthropology community—faculty,
graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff. Please join us in this
exciting discussion! You can register for the event here:

am truly looking forward to closing off our series with you all.
