The Black Trowel Collective with Aris Poliopoulos and Colleen Morgan

Description
Today's epsiode is all about mutual aid, anarchism and archaeology. I sat down recently with Aris Politopolis and Colleen Morgan, both of whom are members of The Black Trowel Collective. We discuss what the BTC does and in particular the function of its microgrants, which provide $5-$300 in grants to students of archaeology, with no questions asked. We also talk about the ways in which anarchism has influenced this kind of work and what "anarchaeology" may mean in terms of working with others.
