Climate Change and Violence? Cautionary Tales from the Pre-Columbian Andes The seminar will take place on January 25, 2008, 4 to 5 PM, in 201 Old Chem Building, West Campus, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Arkush received her PhD at UCLA in 2005. Her research centers on the interplay of warfare, political power, social identity, and ritual in the prehispanic Andes. Her doctoral research focused on the later part of the prehispanic sequence after about A.D. 1000, when many small polities throughout the Andes were apparently engaged in cycles of endemic warfare. Fieldwork on a suite of fortified hilltop sites in the northern Lake Titicaca basin in Peru investigated the regional patterns that emerged from conflictual and cooperative social relationships. This study also examined the chronology of fortification to question current interpretations of the causes of intergroup violence at the time.

Joseph Puentes hosts Water Environment-Lakes, Rivers, Oceans, Aquifers, Groundwater-Water (h2o) Environmental Issues: Conservation, Sustainability, Preservation, and Ecology, a thoughtful exploration of our planet's most vital resource. Rather than just presenting dry facts, this podcast weaves together scientific insight with cultural and societal perspectives, examining how water shapes our health, communities, and the natural world. You'll hear discussions that connect the dots between the chemistry of an aquifer, the policy protecting a river, and the traditional knowledge preserving a watershed. Each episode feels like a conversation, delving into the complex challenges of conservation and the innovative paths toward true sustainability. The aim is to foster a deeper, more nuanced understanding that moves beyond simple headlines. By engaging with experts and stories from various fields, this series provides a comprehensive audio journey into the ecology of water in all its forms.
