Jordi Rivera Prince
In this talk, Jordi Rivera Prince will tie social inequality through the past and the present addressing her own bioarchaeological research in the North Coast of the Central Andes, and her experience today in academia and a Mexican-American woman of color from a working-class background. Her bioarchaeological study centers on a small-scale fishing community at the La Iglesia site (ca. 400-200 BCE), located in modern-day Huanchaco, Peru. From personal experience, the talk will relate how minoritized individuals may receive unequal access to goods, information, and power in the discipline. It will address how her experience thus far necessarily guides her research and practice as an archaeologist studying social inequality.
The Student Affairs Lecture Series in Archaeology (SALSA) provides an opportunity to hear student members present on their current research as well as a space to discuss and connect with other students.
