An Obligation To Speak The Truth

Gratitude Season continues with Episode 20. Today Jenny, and Kleanza archaeologist Manda Palmer gently, with compassion and vulnerability, have a very difficult but important discussion about harassment, abuse, rape, sexual assault, mental health and burnout in the practice of archaeology…and our obligation, to ourselves now, and to the next generation. Again, it feels like we're just scratching the surface, but it’s a start. And we touch on a few solutions too. The content will be alarming to some, and we have included more detailed information in the Show Notes, as well as resources, should you need them. Most importantly, please take care of yourself.
