If you’ve been looking for ways to engage with anthropology that are fun and easy to grasp, this is the podcast episode for you. Rewilding requires learning from humanity’s diverse past in order to shape our present and future in a way that is reciprocal with the land and each other. Anthropology can feel daunting and inaccessible to many people. From academic jargon to studies behind paywalls and the occasional pretentious practitioner. Social media provides a potential space for culturally savvy anthropologists to share uncommonly known positions and views in a fun and engaging way with people who are not versed in academia. On this episode of the podcast I’m speaking with Andie, the creator of the Ancestral Habits account on Instagram. Andie lays concepts out in ways that are easy to understand and interpret, and includes the proper citations for legitimacy. Something we need more of these days, especially on social media.

Andie has a degree in Anthropology and has worked in biomedical research development in Academia for over a decade.
