The Anthrophiles

Have you ever thought about how fascinating human cultures around the world are? Past AND Present? Or wondered about how we evolved, look so different, or even what skeletons can tell us about peoples’ lives and our history? Or how we humans interact with our environment or obtain our food? Well, we do! We are anthropology students at Quinnipiac University and want to explore all things human through the field of anthropology. Join us as we discuss human cultures, biology, archaeology, language – and all the things humans do and have done throughout history.This podcast is a partnership production with the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio. Producer is Reinett Chefu. Executive producer is David DesRoches.

In Episode 7, the Anthrophiles discussed the Quinnipiac People—our university's namesake—and how we as a community can properly appreciate, rather than appropriate, their culture. In this episode, the Anthrophiles—with the help of Quinnipiac students, Quinnipiac faculty, and local researchers—return to the subject, exploring the history of the naming of Quinnipiac University, considering what responsibilities come with carrying the name of an Indigenous people, and reviewing the changes underway on campus that aim to establish a stronger connection between the University community and the history of the people who preceded us.
