On today’s episode, Jessica hosts Dr. Michael Blakey, National Endowment for the Humanities Professor of Anthropology, Africana Studies, American Studies and Founding Director of the Institute for Historical Biology at the College of William and Mary and the Co-Chair of the American Anthropological Association’s Commission for the Ethical Treatment of Human Remains. Dr. Blakey carries us on his lifetime journey in the field of Anthropology, including his childhood looking for archaeological artifacts, serving as the Scientific Director of New York City’s colonial African Burial Ground archaeological site, and the development of NAGPRA. He focuses on the ethics and best practices of working with human remains, especially the importance of empowered descendant communities and serving them as the ethical client of any project.
