Coming Soon: Season 04
Season Four of Anthropological Airwaves will return in February 2022. Like American Anthropologist, the journal, Anthro Airwaves is a venue for highlighting voices across biological, cultural, linguistic, and archaeological anthropology, and the infinite and overlapping subfields within them. This season, we will be featuring a bunch of great episodes pitched, recorded, and produced by forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, and linguistic anthropologists.
Hear more in the preview below, and join us in February when the season begins.
TRANSCRIPT:
Anar Parikh 00:00
Anthropological Airwaves is the official podcast of the journal American Anthropologist, whose main offices are located on the traditional and ancestral territories of the Nacotchank, Anacosta, and Piscataway peoples. The Anacostia and Potomac rivers have long been places of trade and gathering for Indigenous peoples, and Washington DC is now home to diverse Indigenous people from across Turtle Island. American Anthropologist has published material throughout its history that have taken knowledge from Indigenous peoples for a scholarly audience and has not required its authors or editors to be good relations to Indigenous peoples and communities. Acknowledging territory is only one step in repairing these relationships. The Editorial Collective of the journal is committed to deep listening and engagement with Indigenous scholars, peoples, and communities to explore ways to be a better relation.

This episode was recorded, edited, and produced from the traditional territories of the Catawba, Waxhaw, Cheraw, and Sugaree peoples, and specifically in Charlotte, North Carolina—a city located on the traditional crossroads of two Indigenous trading paths: the Occaneechi Path and the Lower Cherokee Traders’ Path, which facilitated the extensive trade network of Cherokee, Catawba, Saponi, and Congaree peoples prior to colonization. While many descendants of Cheraw, Waxhaw, and Sugaree communities eventually joined the Catawba peoples, today, the Catawba Nation continues to thrive as a federally recognized tribe located less than one hour south of where this recording took place.

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining us for another episode of Anthropological Airwaves – the official podcast of the journal, American Anthropologist.

My name is Anar Parikh, I’m a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at Brown University. Some of you might already be familiar with me and my voice, but if you’re not, I’m the Associate Editor of the Podcast at American Anthropologist and the Executive Producer of this show. I use she/her pronouns. The show has been on break, and I’ve been off the mic for a few months because I’ve been focusing on finishing my dissertation draft. Fortunately, I’ve sent it to my committee, and it is out of my hands for at least a few weeks, and I’m excited to finally get back to putting some great anthro audio back in y’all’s ears. These days, time is pretty weird for all of us, and I’ve realized that keeping track of which season we’re on gets kind of confusing. In 2021, Season 3-ish, full of a bunch of great conversations with other anthropology podcast hosts, kinda melded into Season 3, with episodes in the fall that, in their own way, had a kind of archival element—whether it be a conversation about Indigenous archives in Central America or some old Anthro Airwaves tape from the 2019 African Critical Inquiry Workshop: African Ethnographies conference held at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa. Anyways, it’s a new year, and while a seemingly never-ending global pandemic reminds us that fresh starts aren’t always possible, I figure we should take advantage of them when we can!

So, I’m excited to announce that Season Four of Anthropological Airwaves will be hitting your feeds in February 2022. Like American Anthropologist, the journal, Anthro Airwaves is a venue for highlighting the polyphony of voices across the discipline’s four fields, and the infinite and overlapping subfields within them. This season, we’re giving cultural anthropology’s hegemony in the discipline a run for its money and will be featuring a bunch of great episodes pitched, recorded, and produced by forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, and linguistic anthropologists as well. Each of the episodes/episode series this season will sound totally different from one another, and I’m so excited to share that with you all.
