  • WOW: Indigenous Archaeologist reclaims paleo history

    Very interesting and informative. This episode knocked the socks off what I thought was the history of this land. It also relieved me if some settler-racist anxiety I didn’t know how to navigate through. It is really very disturbing when academics ignore evidence and silence dissent to maintain power and control. Thank you for this episode and thank you Dr Paulette Stevens for your work, persistence and bravery.

    A comprehensive exploration of historical ideas about the value, purposes and models of universal education. A glaring omission is any reference to half of those potential students: girls and women.
