- What happens when foundational scientific concepts clash with modern identity politics? Today, our guest is Elizabeth Weiss, professor emeritus of anthropology at San José State University, Segal Center research fellow, and a renowned author. Her latest book, "On the War Path: My Battles with Indians, Pretendians, and Woke Warriors", is now available.
Weiss recounts her tumultuous journey through academia and the underlying conflicts within anthropology. These conflicts range from the debate between scientific knowledge and postmodern truths to the intersection of identity politics with the discipline. She also discusses the controversy surrounding the cancellation of a panel on the concept of binary sex by major anthropological associations, only for it to gain global attention after being reinstated.
Join us as Elizabeth Weiss shares her steadfast commitment to objective knowledge and truth, her experiences with being canceled, and her aspirations for reform within the field of anthropology.
In This Episode:
• Controversy over the binary concept of sex
• Retraction of anthropology panel on sex
• Elizabeth Weiss's academic journey and research
• Challenges in anthropology and repatriation laws
• Elizabeth Weiss's lawsuit and retirement settlement

Anthropology is one of the most woke-left-captured departments in academia.
Cheers to Elizabeth!
Thanks for having Elizabeth on - we don't hear enough from those in scientific fields who have been ostracised for their research.
Thanks very much for this video and for Heterodox Academy. So glad I’ve retired from academia. What a mess! Please let guests finish their sentences. Doing so shows respect and confidence that the guest will make their points without being directed .
I realize his interruptions are important to summarize and provide context for the audience, but as a listener, I would have appreciated fewer of them
Host interrupts guest
Guest starts to speak
Hosts interrupts again
Guest starts to speak again
Hosts interrupts again then says but go on…
(Edit)
20 interruptions later…
Host: I’m sorry to interrupt (continues to interrupt)
Many of those who are quickest to deride the creation stories of European cultures are also the quickest to officially declare the creation myths of American indigenous peoples as important oral histories and therefore sacrosanct.
So often when reading archeological papers pertaining to the histories of indigenous Americans, I see the authors attempting to walk a precarious tightrope where they water down research findings and include the opinions of native American "authorities" in an effort to both publish their work, but not lose access to archeological sites because they pissed off the natives.
It's dangerous to reliable results to allow hard scientific research to be comprised by having to kowtow to special interest groups in order to maintain access to important resources.
Interesting insights. I did not know that . . . but I am not surprised.
The academy is in such trouble.
its fine,
fail sons always have a lifeline
this interview was very difficult to listen to because the Host kept interrupting the interviewee
It felt like he was trying to clarify, not simply interrupt.
@@vickibicknell884 yes but he didnt need to 'clarify' every 5 minutes. he could have done so after the fact. an interviewer must allow the guest to finish his (in this case her) thought(s) and then ask for clarification.
Lovely conversation, thanks.
Wot - no jokes about boners? Tut, tut!
2:22 I loved sk- anatomy 😊
If the crypt is a-clatterin' don't come a-batterin'.
If the caravan's arockin', don't come aknockin'.
Am I the only one picturing interred skeletons that have been placed in positions to help ensure their cozy happiness throughout eternity? 💕And, yeah, PELVISES PEOPLE!
The dude with the eye job needs to let the guest finish a sentence.
He seems more concerned with displaying his own knowledge than letting the guest tell her story.
Some would say, “No glove, no love.” Others disagree.
I am beginning to watch this video but I don't even need to watch it entirely to answer the question. Yes, you can tell sex from skeletons. I've watched every single episode of Bones three times. And the titular character-who is based on an actual forensic anthropologist in real life-could always tell sex from the bones. This was way back when TV shoes used to be have some basis in reality. The actual anthropologist, Kathy Reichs, who the show was based on, was a producer on all the episodes because she wanted to keep the science real. So I know at least the physical anthropology bits were true.
Yes the do and I was taught it’s called necrophilia🤭
What a great title. Obviously, skeletons have sex (biological) but no gender (behavioral). Which tells something about what has a meaning and what doesn't, if one wants to have definition with legal meanings (e.g., for women rights under legal rules and regulations).

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a Singularity-point stage-step, from wherever wherever you are in relative-timing holographic-quantization cycles in the Calculus-Calendar of Eternity-now Interval Perspective Principle, and it's always NOW, so we live past-future presence here-now-forever according to the memory associations mapping of the local curriculum-culture.

Genuine teaching quality is inherently vital to human existence, so deny denial, it's purely trivial.

As a skeleton I can confirm, we do. 🙃
channel must admit this is clickbait
No, not clickbait. What makes you think so?
