About this listen

Let's talk to Scientists about how they decolonise their field!

In this episode, we interview a biological anthropologist, Dr. Michael Rivera. We talk to Michael about the importance of representation in attracting marginalized communities into nontraditional careers that lead to creating a diverse research community, his  Ph.D. research in coastal communities, and how he has been decolonizing both his research process and his subject of anthropology and archeology.  

Michael Rivera did his undergraduate at the University of Kent and has a Ph.D. with the University of Cambridge, where he looked at the human evolution of communities that lived by rivers, lake, and coastlines especially in the Baltic region. He also hosts a podcast, called @ArchandAnthPod, which aims to "explore what makes human beings such a unique, diverse and interesting species".
