Catherine Frieman and James Flexner on archaeology, degrowth and anarchism

In this episode, we’ll be talking about how archaeology shapes our view of the past, present and future, and how the discipline can be an invaluable resource for challenging established narratives around capitalism.

Our guests are Catherine Frieman, an associate professor in European archaeology at the Australian National University, and James Flexner, a senior lecturer in historical archaeology and heritage at the University of Sydney, and. We’ll discuss everything from the troubles with neolibeal academia to anarchism, degrowth and a couple of topics that may be better saved for an Englishman’s therapist.
