The New Brunswick Archaeology PodcastRaised Beds, Elevated ConversationThis fortnight, get ready to learn about pre-Contact Indigenous agriculture that was much, MUCH more widespread than previously thought. Maddie McLeester (Dartmouth College) joins us to describe using LiDAR to identify extensive raised bed farming in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This work, recently published in Science, suggests a ubiquity of Indigenous farming that was previously unrealized. Maddie also chats about her course on Indigenous games.Show notes:McLeester, Madeleine, Carolin Ferwerda, Jonathan Alperstein, David Overstreet, David Grignon, and Jesse Casana. 2025.

The Purpose EdgeEpisode 6 with Shayne Evans - When success isn’t what you thought it would beShayne Evans was an up and coming architect, designing fancy houses for rich clients, and was seemingly at his pinnacle when he realised it wasn’t as fulfilling as he thought it would be.
In this conversation, Shayne talks about how he made the adjustment to a new type of working within his chosen and treasured profession. Not surprisingly, that had a lot to do with purpose - not just saying it but building it into the fabric of the business at Stanton Dahl that he now leads.

Europe Japan Research Centre PodcastsAscetic Ressentiment: Historical Consciousness and Mountain Politics in Northeastern Japan[Recorded 18th November 2020] In this talk, I will discuss competing streams of historical consciousness in Mount Haguro, a sacred mountain in northeastern Japan known for its mountain ascetic traditions. Applying the notion of ressentiment (historical alienation) to the longue dureé of religious history in Mount Haguro, I demonstrate how contemporary conflicts in the mountain ascetic community are rooted not only in a historic rift between Shintō and Buddhism in the early Meiji period, but in a greater dynamic at play in Japanese religious history between nativism and cosmopolitanism. Shayne A. P. Dahl received his PhD in Sociolinguistic Anthropology at the Un...
