Talking to Mo Dodson (yes, that is my Dad, and yes, that is him in the photo) about Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying’s book A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century.
Mo Dodson is an adjunct professor of Film Studies at Boston University in London and a professor of Film and Media at James Madison University in London. He studied Art History at the Courtauld; Cultural Studies at London University; and Film Making at The London Film School. He researched the anthropology of dance at the University of Goldsmiths. He has worked in film, television, and photography, and collaborated with Robert North on dance-dramas for The London Contemporary Dance Theatre. His published work includes contributions to scholarly anthologies, two co-edited scholarly books, as well as arts reviews for various journals.
ERRATA (courtesy of Mo Dodson): 1). Concept of immediate return vs. delayed return hunter-gatherers was developed by James Woodburn. 2) Revisitionist current of H/G anthropologists argue that extant H/G societies are in fact remnants of agricultural/civilised peoples.
