University of Southern Indiana Hosts Anthropology Lectures on Ancestor Worship and Geopolitics
The University of Southern Indiana (USI) is hosting two public lectures as part of its Anthropology Speaker Series. The first lecture, titled 'The Ancestors and I: Studying Ancestor Worship in Indonesia,' will be delivered by Dr. Kyle Clark, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Evansville. This lecture is scheduled for noon on April 10. Dr. Clark will explore the practice of ancestor worship, particularly among the Iban of Indonesia, and its impact on human cooperative behavior from an evolutionary perspective. The second lecture, 'Ecuador: Tranquility, Terror, and South American Geopolitics,' will be presented by Dr. Daniel Bauer, a professor of anthropology at USI, on April 24. Dr. Bauer will share insights from his extensive research on Ecuador, highlighting the country's role in addressing significant global issues. Both events will take place in Kleymeyer Hall, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, and are open to the public at no charge.
