Jeremy Coburn featured on IN THE BUSH podcast
Visiting Assistant Professor Jeremy Coburn recently appeared as a guest on the IN THE BUSH podcast, joining hosts Cole and Joel for an in-depth conversation about his research on the Hadzabe people of Tanzania. Drawing on his expertise in African languages, Coburn discussed the unique features of the Hadza language, one of the few languages in the world that uses complex click consonants, and the broader cultural and environmental challenges facing the Hadzabe community today.
Throughout the episode, Coburn emphasized the importance of linguistic and cultural preservation efforts as traditional ways of life face increasing pressure from modernization and environmental change. His work not only sheds light on a remarkable and endangered language but also highlights the critical connections between language, culture, and sustainability.
The episode, "The Language and Life Challenges of the Hadzabe Bushmen," is now available to stream on Apple Podcasts.
