About this listen
On this episode of AnthroPuzzled, we’re joined by Grace Penry, a graduate teaching assistant at the University of Arkansas. With a bachelor’s in anthropology and creative writing, she is now pursuing a master’s in translation and creative writing. Grace shares how her lifelong passions for storytelling and connecting with people drew her into both anthropology and writing, and how the observational skills she gained as an anthropologist continue to shape her creative work.
Her interests also extend into languages, she minored in Spanish, spent time studying abroad in Argentina, and now works on translating stories across languages, gaining fresh perspectives on culture and communication. In addition to her studies, Grace has always felt called to teaching, from her time in elementary classrooms to now leading university-level creative writing courses. She talks about the joy she finds in encouraging students and sharing her love of writing.
Tune in to hear Grace’s journey through higher education, the intersections of anthropology and creative expression, and the lessons she’s carrying forward as both a writer and teacher.
