5.6 Biocultural Conservation with Ricardo Rozzi
This episode features Ricardo Rozzi, PhD, a Chilean ecologist and philosopher who is a professor at the University of North Texas and the Universidad de Magallanes (UMAG). His research combines ecology and philosophy through the study of the interrelations between the ways of knowing and inhabiting the natural world, proposing a dynamic continuous reciprocal feedback between both domains. We discuss his work with biocultural conservation, field environmental philosophy, and liberation theology, with particular attention to the unique cultural, ecological, and political context of Chile and Latin America.

A Biocultural Approach to Literary Theory and Interpretation
This source, an excerpt from "A Biocultural Approach to Literary Theory and Interpretation," explores how cognitive and evolutionary theories can be used to understand the nature and function of literature. The author argues that literary studies should embrace a more scientific approach by considering the evolved human mind and its relationship to language, environment, and social dynamics. The text examines various theoretical frameworks, including evolutionary psychology, cognitive linguistics, and conceptual blending theory, to illustrate how these frameworks can be applied to the interpretation of literary works. The author provides examples from literary texts, such as Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," Coleridge's "...

My discussion, specifically, focuses on video-recordings of naturally occurring interaction in couples’ homes alongside time-matched psychophysiological data on moment-to-moment shifts in each partners’ respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) —an aspect of heart rate variability (HRV)—gathered with a mobile impedance cardiography device (Mindware Technologies, Ltd.

If we were to lose a culture or language then we would see the negative effects in our biodiversity as well. Ultimately, this understanding led Dr. Luisa Maffi, David Harmon and some team members to create Terralingua - an international non-profit dedicated to sustaining the diversity of life in nature and culture.

Interestingly enough, we didn't really do much of a workshop... mostly due to the 50-minute timeframe we were working with.

Lecture | Daniel Lende | Neuroanthropology and the Biocultural Approach: Understanding Human Brain Variation in the Wild
We now recognize that our brains are more plastic than once imagined. Research in neurobiology has shown that how our brains function is shaped by reciprocal influences between genetics, development, behavior, culture, and environment. However, much of this research has been done in laboratory and clinical settings, without concurrent examination of how brains vary in the wild. This talk will outline the field of neuroanthropology using prominent examples including addiction and balance, and then reflect on how this synergy of neuroscience and anthropology emerged out of the biocultural approach pioneered at Emory.
