<p>In this episode, Rob chats with Professor and Chair of Anthropology <a href="https://artsci.wustl.edu/faculty-staff/tristram-r-kidder">Tristram Randolph "TR" Kidder</a> about his Beyond Boundaries course <a href="https://incees.wustl.edu/2016/05/24/earths-future-causes-and-consequences-of-climate-change/"><em>Earth’s Future: Causes and Consequences of Climate Change</em></a> that he co-teaches with <a href="https://engineering.wustl.edu/Profiles/Pages/Brent-Williams.aspx">Professor Brent Williams</a> from the McKelvey School of Engineering. This unique freshman-only course at Washington University provides a broad overview of issues involving <a href="http://icares.wustl.edu/programs/curriculum/">climate change and its consequences</a>. The discussion encompasses the structure and impetus behind the course, TR's background as a 3rd Generation archeologist, and a 1950's reality show hosted by TR's uncle and archeologist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_V._Kidder">Alfred V. Kidder</a> called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox6kTLFJrCo&amp;t=96s"><em>What In The World</em></a> where archeologists guess the origin of a museum antiquity.&nbsp;</p>
