Summary

Last time in episode 183 we checked out the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) meetings and found out that while they are behind in public outreach and always a bit too academic for the sake of being academic, they are trying to change their ways a bit and that is a nice thing. Today we look at the unfortunate case of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), who has decided that feelings matter more than facts and irrelevance is preferable to change.
