On October 8th, 2021, bioarchaeologist Carlina de la Cova (University of South Carolina at Columbia) met with a panel of CIAMS students (Carol Anne Barsody, Claire Challancin, Ayesha Matthan, Emily Sharp, Alex Symons, and Anna Whittemore) and faculty member Matthew Velasco to discuss the history of anatomical collections in the United States and how to ethically engage with the marginalized individuals who make up these collections. The conversation centered on two recent book chapters by Dr. de la Cova: a 2019 chapter in Bioarchaeology of Marginalized People, titled, “Marginalized bodies and the construction of the Robert J. Terry anatomical skeletal collection: A promised land lost;” and a 2020 chapter in Theoretical Perspectives in Bioarchaeology, titled, “Making silenced voices speak: Restoring neglected and ignored identities in anatomical collections.” This podcast was hosted over Zoom with all parties participating remotely.
