Witchcraft, water bottles and white privilege
Katie Biittner |
TEDxMacEwanU
• January 2019
The first time Dr. Katie Biittner (associate professor, anthropology at MacEwan University) was accused of witchcraft, she was shocked. The second time, she realized what the charge revealed about her – as a person and an archaeologist. In her talk, Katie digs into the time she spent in Africa studying the origins of humanity, and how she’s using what she learned – on and off the excavation site – to elevate the voices of the people who live in the communities she’s studying.
