 My name is Joseph Jones. I am a biological or a biocultural anthropologist at the College of William and Mary. And with respect to the question of why anthropology, this is a question that we're often asked specifically of why biological anthropology, as an African-American, and the answer for me is pretty simple. I was drawn into anthropology by the promise of the New York African Burial Ground Project. It was something, it was an opportunity, I saw it reconstruct, to find a new history and a lost history for enslaved Africans in the hidden part of slavery in the North, to reconstruct that history from a new perspective to tell new stories about how the biology and the culture of these individuals changed as they took on the diasporic identities. It was also an opportunity to tell new stories of race from early American history. And this was a theme that I was able to pick up on in the race project later, my graduate career. And this was a project in which we reconstructed the history, the science, and the lived experience of race and tried to share ideas that anthropologists have had for the past hundreds or so years with the broader public, publics. And it was, it's been an extremely successful endeavor on the part of the American Anthropological Association. And it's, I think, a, I suppose, a challenge for a new generation of anthropologists to figure out how it is we're going to make our sense relevant, given the pressing social problems and issues of the, I suggest, racism and sexism, which persists. So for me, that was a wide anthropology. So a chance to learn more about myself, about my culture, and to share that information with others, hopefully in a way that will resonate inter-generationally.
