“How Indigenous Peoples Created Brazilian Biomes”
The Princeton University Brazil LAB hosted the virtual discussion, “How Indigenous Peoples Created Brazilian Biomes.”
The talk featured Eduardo Góes Neves, professor of archaeology at the University of São Paulo, and Tiffany Fryer, the Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in Princeton’s Society of Fellows and lecturer in the Council of the Humanities and the Department of Anthropology. Neves has been studying middle Holocene occupations on fluvial shell mounds, as well as the archaeology of late pre-colonial mound building societies in southwestern Amazonia. Fryer investigates settler colonialism as a form of political violence and focuses especially on how such violence, the things and places it generates, and the memories that result from its experience, yield collective notions of heritage and sociopolitical consciousness across time.
Carlos Fausto, professor of anthropology in the Graduate Program in Anthropology at Brazil’s Museu Nacional and a Princeton Global Scholar in the Brazil LAB, moderated.
This event is cosponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute.
