Childhood in the Congo Basin with Sheina Lew-Levy

24 Jun 2025

Description

Helicopter parenting is not a human universal! Guest Sheina Lew-Levy (Durham) explains what drew her to studying childhood among BaYaka foragers in the Congo Basin, and what parenting and childhood is like there and how this helps us understand who we are and what we need growing up. In this episode we also cover why field anthropologists are bad*ss and how, for David, “roughing it” involves staying at a 3-star hotel without room-service.    More about Sheina Lew-Levy:    https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/sheina-lew-levy/   https://sites.google.com/view/sheinalewlevy/home   More about David Pinsof:    https://www.everythingisbullshit.blog/   https://www.kremslab.com/people   More about Dave Pietraszewski:    https://cal.psych.ucsb.edu/david-pietraszewski
