A Brighter Future from a Dark Past - Ep 107

On this month’s episode, Jessica speaks with Dr. Peggy Brunache (Senior Lecturer in Public History and Archaeology at the University of Glasgow and founding Director of the Beniba Centre for Slavery Studies). Dr. Brunache breaks down how archaeology serves as an Imperial project, but also how it can serve communities. She also delves into the culinary history of Black foodways and culinary resistance, as well as the heavy influence of those traditions on the cuisine in the United States and Carribbean today. Finally, we talk about her current project in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and working with local communities.
