#3 | Critical Race Theory in Anthropology with Dr Antoinette Jackson

Season 1 Episode 1: Dr Antoinette Jackson on Anthropology, Critical Race Theory, and Being New Department Chair
Recorded: April 27, 2020
In this first episode of this relaunched podcast, William talks with Dr Antoinette Jackson, the incoming Chair of the Applied Anthropology Department at the University of South Florida. We discuss her transition to this new position during COVID-19 as well as how students, faculty, and all of us can cope during the quarantine. We also discuss her latest book, Heritage, Tourism, and Race: The Other Side of Leisure (2020), discussing how Black people have historically experienced tourism and what placing Black people’s stories at the center of anthropological investigations does to enhance and put forth a Critical Race Theoretical Perspective. We also discuss her 2012 book Speaking for the Enslaved: Heritage Interpretation at Antebellum Plantation Sites, and the power of language when referencing the enslaved.
