Episode 21: Recognizing the Quinnipiac People at Quinnipiac University
Episode 21
Wednesday, 6 March, 2024
In Episode 7, the Anthrophiles discussed the Quinnipiac People—our university's namesake—and how we as a community can properly appreciate, rather than appropriate, their culture. In this episode, the Anthrophiles—with the help of Quinnipiac students, Quinnipiac faculty, and local researchers—return to the subject, exploring the history of the naming of Quinnipiac University, considering what responsibilities come with carrying the name of an Indigenous people, and reviewing the changes underway on campus that aim to establish a stronger connection between the University community and the history of the people who preceded us. Special thanks to Christina Dickerson (Assistant Professor of History at Quinnipiac), Sean Duffy (Executive Director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute and Professor of Political Science at Quinnipiac), James Powers (Curator of the Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum at the Dudley Farm in Guilford, CT), Paul Wegner (Assistant Director of the Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, CT), and the Quinnipiac students who lent their voices to this podcast. Additional thanks to Julia Giblin and Susan Riello for their advisement on the project, and to Hillary Haldane (Professor of Anthropology at Quinnipiac) and Marcos Scauso (former Assistant Professor of Political Science at Quinnipiac), whose thoughtful words and brilliant insights were ultimately left on the cutting room floor during the production of this project.
