Revisiting With Ayana Omilade Flewellen - HeVo 102
from The Archaeology Podcast Network Feed · host Host
After more than 4 years since they recorded Episode 60 (Historical Archaeology for the Future) together, Jessica checks back in with Dr. Ayana Omilade Flewellen (they/she; Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University and Co-Founder of the Society of Black Archaeologists). The two discuss Dr. Flewellen’s move to Stanford, how Dr. Flewellen’s research focus was entirely flipped on its head, and how they came back from that in a creative way. We also discuss the importance of standardizing excavation for future use as legacy collections. Finally, we discussed the oral history work that they are doing with Diving with a Purpose and even as a cultural anthropologist their methodology was one I had never heard of before!LinksHeritage Voices on the APNBlack Feminist Plenary sessionAyana Omilade FlewellenAyana Omilade Flewellen | Department of AnthropologySociety of Black Archaeologists: The Future of Archaeology Starts Herewww.divingwithapurpose.orgAn Aural Ethnography of Black Breath: Soundscapes at Submerged Heritage Sites of Enslavement Open Access Ayana Omilade Flewellen liquid blackness (2025) 9 (1): 106–117Archaeology in the Community WebsiteWatch: "Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter"“The Future of Archaeology Is Antiracist”: Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter | American Antiquity | Cambridge Core‘Lessons from the water’ on healing, history and finding freedom from fear | CNNYoutube VideoYoutube VideoDr. [email protected]@illegible_musings on [email protected]@livingheritageAArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetTee Public StoreAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
