Archaeothoughts Talks - Structural Racism - S1E5
Channel: Archaeothoughts
Date: 2020-04-17

Today we will not be discussing the pandemic but rather a different kind of infection that sits at the root of many of our institutions, including archaeology, structural racism. Specifically how this affects BIPOC/BAME students, academics, and professionals today.

My guest this week is Dr. Michael Rivera (@riveramichael). Dr. Rivera is a Filipino-Chinese archaeologist, anthropologist, and podcaster. He is a graduate of the University of Cambridge and the host of The Arch & Anth Podcast.
