Additional Information

Below is a description of their book, which will form the basis of their presentation.
“In Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus, Columbia professors Jennifer S. Hirsch and Shamus Khan lay out an expansive, empirically-grounded vision for campus sexual assault prevention. The book is rich with the testimonies of Columbia and Barnard students who participated in the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation. Grounded in the intimate, often painful accounts of the human beings at its center, Sexual Citizens is a bold and comprehensive analysis of a social ecosystem where sexual assault is a regular feature, concluding with a bracing set of recommendations for what families, teachers, policy makers, and leaders in higher education can do to prevent it.

“Pruning Lets the Light In”: Seeking Beneficial Land-based Livelihoods in Colorado’s North Fork Valley

Abstract: The North Fork Valley is home to an agricultural community that contains the highest concentration of small organic farms in Colorado. Drawing from my ethnographic field work with farmers, ranchers, gardeners, and homesteaders in this community, this chapter focuses on how people are conceptualizing the meaning and significance of their land-based livelihoods. I explore how people draw from concepts such as connection, reciprocity, independence/interdependence, respect, sustainability, experiential learning, and improvement when navigating their day to day relationships with land, plants, animals, and people. In seeking an understanding of how people’s values shape their relationships and motivate their participation in a local food system, we can learn about what it means to try to act beneficially on agricultural ground.

AIA Lecture: Archaeology and Demography of Local Cemeteries with Dr. Erin Baxter

Just in time for Halloween, this lively talk will explore the origins, art, history, demographics, and archaeology of Colorado cemeteries and share findings of CU-Boulder student-led research at Boulder’s Colombia Cemetery. The history of funerary grounds, tombstones, graveyards, mausoleums, and other post-colonial burial practices will be explored, as will the origins of death practices themselves.

Erin Baxter is Acting Curator of Anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and a popular professor of CU’s Archaeology of Death (CLAS 3119), a fascinating insight into human history and culture in both the modern and ancient world. Erin earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology and a certificate in Museum Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

T-Doors, Tri-Walls, and Sub-Floors: Southwestern Examples of Clunky Evidence in the Age of Big Data

Pottery has always held pride-of-place for both quantity and quality of archaeological data. It defines the basic "culture areas," and changes in ceramics track much of the history we infer for the archaeological cultures of the Southwest. Yet, other, larger, clunkier evidence like architecture is also worth a look. Various buildings "types" provide similar kinds of information as pottery, but are often distributed across ceramic boundaries, and sometimes they seem to tell different stories. This talk will look at several patterns of larger evidence, including the iconic T-shaped doors of the Southwest. Comparing and contrasting all forms of evidence for the past reveals new patterns in prehistory that “big data” alone might mi
