A Story of Us

Welcome back to A Story of Us! This is the first episode of Series 2: Childhood! We have a new host (1st year PhD student Emma Lagan) and a fantastic series ahead! This episode defines childhood and goes through some of the biological aspects of the early part of childhood.

Evolutionary morphologist Dr. Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel discusses how the shape of our skeleton can inform our understanding of migration and evolutionary history.

Cultural anthropologist and OSU faculty member Dr. Jeffrey Cohen discusses his research on migration in Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as some of his recent publications.

Evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Mark Hubbe and bioarchaeologist Selin Nugent discuss some of the benefits and difficulties of using skeletal evidence to reconstruct both long and short term human migrations.

This episode continues our discussion of archaeology and introduces the ways skeletal evidence can be used by anthropologists to understand migration in the past. This podcast was made in collaboration with the American Anthropological Association.

Ohio State University Department of Anthropology faculty member Dr. Robert Cook and graduate student Laura Crawford discuss two North American migrations, archaeology, and material culture. This podcast was made in collaboration with the American Anthropological Asssociation.

This episode introduces the field of archaeology and, specifically, discusses how material culture can help anthropologists understand migration in the past.

Faculty member Dr. Mark Moritz and graduate student Erin Kane discuss their work with pastoralist and primate groups.

This episode takes a step back from migration and focuses on normal and seasonal mobility through two case studies: one human and one non-human primate.

A conversation between two cultural anthropology graduate students in our department: Kelly Yotebieng and Natalia Zotova.

This is the first episode of our Migration series! We'll give you an overview of how different anthropologists study migration in the past and present. We'll also give you a preview of the rest of the series.
