Carolyn Freiwald’s ‘The Story of Migration: Your Life in a Tooth’ to be broadcast to a global audience<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A presentation by a University of Mississippi<\/strong> professor will be broadcast to the world later this month through the popular thought-leadership platform TED<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolyn Freiwald<\/strong>‘s talk, “The Story of Human Migration: Your Life in a Tooth,” will air at 9 a.m. Thursday, January 14. In the presentation, which originally was given during the university’s TEDxUniversityofMississippi<\/strong> 2020 event, the associate professor of anthropology discusses how archaeologists are using new technologies to discover just how common migration was around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It wasn’t just the Vikings, the Romans or European explorers, either,” Freiwald said. “My grandparents came to this county, and migrants today include many of our neighbors, co-workers and friends.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freiwald said she expects her talk to resonate with the global audience provided by the TED platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The UM TEDx talks in 2020 told stories about migration and immigrants, and how views on age, race, poverty and health affect people,” she said. “What matters to people in Mississippi is no different than what people care about around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Every family has a migration story, whether it’s from the next town, another state or a distant country, and that resonates with people no matter where they live.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
