Women today represent two-thirds of all Canadian doctorates in archaeology, but only one-third of Canadian tenure-stream faculty. While men with Canadian PhDs have done well in securing tenure-track jobs in Canada over the past 15 years, women have not, according to a new study from McGill University. The current COVID-19 pandemic is likely to exacerbate these existing inequalities.
Sandra Teresa Hyde was the Editor for 2020 Special Issue of the journal Medical Anthropology: Cross Cultural Studies in Health and Illness titled "Balancing the Quotidian: Precarity, Care and Pace in Anthropology's Storytelling."
The COVID-19 pandemic sadly removed members of the Anthropology department from our face to face collective spaces. To fill this void, the Anthropology Graduate Students collectively created Talking Culture and its mini-series COVID Conversations. As the producer and host, Alejandra Melian-Morse conducted nine interviews on how COVID-19 entangled scholarship and lives. These podcasts showcase how Anthropology asks questions and fosters meaningful conversations through creative digital media, generating novel ways to think about this pandemic.
