“Science, the Media, and Interpretations of Upper Paleolithic Figurines”
Presented by Dr. Melanie Lee Chang, University of Victoria
Archaeological discoveries from the Paleolithic receive widespread popular press coverage. The public is fascinated by human evolution, and the mass media commonly presents related “Paleo” news to attract the maximum readership. Researchers benefit from such coverage. However, sensationalist language becomes problematic when placed in a scientific context. When researchers use the language of popular media, they validate it. The echo chamber expands to include scientists in other fields, who may unquestioningly apply such facile interpretations in their own research in order to “naturalize” and legitimize modern biases.

4:00 pm, Smith Memorial Ctr 236
Free & Open to Public
Dr. Chang received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005 and has taught at the University of Oregon and University of Victoria. Her main research focus is in biological anthropology (fossil hominin systematics including Neanderthal), but the subject of her First Thursday presentation suggests her interests are broad. The topic should be of interest to all.
