DESCRIPTION: Mining Conversations is a monthly online discussion series ded
 icated to how knowledge practices on local and planetary scales shape the 
 energy landscapes we see today\, whether influenced by past or present ext
 raction practices. Each session connects different perspectives to better 
 understand the social\, material\, technological\, and environmental force
 s at play. The series seeks to provide the needed space for cross-practice
 \, international and reflective conversations about mining among artists\,
  academics\, activists\, and other persons interested in mining.\nSpeaker:

DESCRIPTION:Humans exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt to new or rapidly 
 changing environments quickly\, including high-altitude\, Arctic and arid 
 ones. While we can assume shared biological factors at the root of human i
 nnovative capacity\, the adaptation to different environments was primaril
 y accomplished through behavioral rather than genetic plasticity. The natu
 re and tempo of modern human dispersals within and out of Africa indicate 
 that the complex social and behavioral foundations underlying the ability 
 to adapt to novel environmental conditions were likely already in place pr
 ior to the dispersals.\nSpeaker: Matthias Blessing

DESCRIPTION: In the US\, universities and disciplines have been increasingl
 y challenged to demonstrate their value. In some contexts\, value is couch
 ed in market terms\, such as return-on-investment (ROI). Faculty have gene
 rally recoiled against the intrusion of business-oriented ideologies into 
 universities. But the resistance often focuses on maintaining the status q
 uo rather than evaluating and addressing the nature of these conversations
  about academia’s value. One response has been to develop “applied” 
 avenues to tie one’s disciplinary relevance to others' rather than to de
 velop our own strategies to provide more accurate representations of our d
 iscipline’s value. However\, focusing on only academic relevance has bec
 ome less effective. External forces have changed the employment landscape\
 , the nature of research funding\, and the structure of higher education i
 nstitutions. Unfortunately\, disciplines that appear to have limited relev
 ance are at greater risk of being under- or de-funded. In this talk\, I di
 scuss how we can think about relevance more broadly across context\, scale
 \, and stakeholders in archaeology and academia in general.\nSpeaker: Lisa
