The Hunting Collective

Ep. 89: Hunting While Black and Questioning Our Cultural Competency with Dr. Carolyn Finney

On this week’s show, MeatEater’s <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/miles-nolte">Miles Nolte</a> and I discuss the issue of race in the hunting community and consider the idea of increasing diversity within and among hunters. For the interview segment, I’m joined by <a href="https://carolynfinney.com/about.html">Dr. Carolyn Finney</a>, a storyteller, author, and cultural geographer who wrote the book, <a href="https://uncpress.org/book/9781469614489/black-faces-white-spaces/"> Black Faces, White Spaces</a>, which addresses the relationship of African Americans to the outdoors. It’s an incredibly difficult and important conversation for us all. Enjoy. Connect with <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/authors/mark-kenyon">Ben</a> and <a href="https://www.themeateater.com/">MeatEater</a>Ben on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bennyob301/?hl=en">Instagram</a>MeatEater on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/meateater">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StevenRinellaMeatEater/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/MeatEaterTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAaa0mleeU128Ad5iM1RFIg">Youtube</a>Shop <a href="https://store.themeateater.com/">MeatEater Merch</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
