Flamenco as we know it was “born” in Spain in the mid-19th century. But for centuries before that, Roma (Gitanos, Gypsies) had been living in Spanish cities, often rubbing shoulders with the descendants of Africans (Moors), who had been there as both citizens and slaves going back to Medieval times and earlier. This overlooked pre-history of flamenco is explored in Miguel Angel Rosales’s groundbreaking film Gurumbé. In this program, we meet Rosales and learn to hear flamenco in a new way. We also meet maverick flamenco artist Raul Rodriguez, inventor and master of the tres flamenco. Rodriquez’s solo concert, sampled in this program, is a tour de force and an anthropology master class, all in one. Poduced by Banning Eyre.

The Hidden Blackness of Flamenco

In this episode, we discuss the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society with Stephen Hughes, a social scientist, and Reese Campbell, a freelance project coordinator. Stephen explores the mixed public sentiment towards AI, highlighting its benefits in healthcare and concerns about its ethical implications, particularly in mental health services. Reese shares her negative views on AI, citing deepfakes and privacy violations. They also discuss AI's potential to exacerbate social inequalities and the role of AI in the art world. The conversation concludes with reflections on the future of AI and its governance.

Is AI killing the internet?

Chris and Courtney sit down with Dr. Thomas Wynn, the Hand Axe Man, AKA: CU Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Colorado. Colorado Springs, where he taught from 1977 until his retirement. Dr. Wynn specializes in the archaeology of the Lower Palaeolithic, led pioneering research in Tanzania, and introduced psychological theory—specifically Piagetian concepts—into Palaeolithic studies, laying the groundwork for evolutionary cognitive archaeology.
Dr. Wynn has published over 100 papers and authored key books such as The Rise of Homo Sapiens (2009) and How to Think Like a Neandertal (2012), which he co-authored with Dr. Frederick Coolidge. In 2011, Wynn co-founded the UCCS Center for Cognitive Archaeology, offering online courses on human cognition's evolutionary development. His recent work includes curating First Sculpture, an exhibition on Acheulean handaxes and early aesthetics, which opened at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas in 2018.

In this In Conversation podcast, Professor Sam Wass is joined by Dr. Celia Smith to discuss the science-facing findings of their JCPP Annual Research Review “‘There, the dance is – at the still point of the turning world’ – dynamic systems perspectives on coregulation and dysregulation during early development” and the implications of their findings for practitioners.

Learning Objectives
1. Brief overview of the methods used to study early child-caregiver interactions.
2. How new measurement techniques is driving new theory.
3. An overview of the clinical interactions currently available focused on child-caregiver interaction in the 0-3 age range.
4. Insight into six key areas relating to different processes of coregulation and dysregulation in the parent-infant pair.
5. What the reviews find in terms of cultural bias, especially as ideas around caregiver and infant interactions are often based around wester ideals, and how this can be addressed.

‘There, the dance is – at the still point of the turning world’: Coregulation and Dysregulation During Early Development

Chris Lynn and Courtney Manthey discuss about the role of monkey bars in human development with Dr. Nathaniel J Dominy, an evolutionary biologist and Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth. He study the behavior, ecology, and functional morphology of humans and nonhuman primates. His research philosophy is to integrate tropical fieldwork with mechanical, molecular, and isotopic analyses in order to better understand how and why adaptive shifts occurred during primate evolution.

SoS 230: Nate Dominy discuss the role of monkey bars in human development

Following our first podcast where we dispelled some Myths about apprenticeships and spoke about why growing talent within is important, we now take a look at two factors that will help apprentices succeed during their training: the importance of a Growth Mindset and making the most of networking. Join UCL Apprenticeship Managers Paula and Uzma as they have a chat over a cuppa and provide some hints and tips during National Apprenticeship Week 2025.
