About Afterlives with Kara Cooney & show notes

The afterlives of history echo throughout contemporary society, politics, and culture—we live with them everyday. Join Egyptologist Kara Cooney and her co-host Jordan Galczynski as they discuss ancient Egyptian history and society, the ancient world, current events, and offer a new understanding of the past and how it defines the future. Now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, and Stitcher!

Kara and Jordan chat about their paths into academia and the process of getting into graduate school and in particular Egyptology or ancient history programs.

• The FAQ section on Kara’s website is excellent, and offers practical advice and suggestions to students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate level who are interested in pursuing the study of ancient Egypt: https://karacooney.squarespace.com/faq
• On the subject of the choice to enter graduate school in the Humanities and the topic of student debt see the following articles:
• “Graduate School in the Humanities: Just Don’t Go” in The Chronicle of Higher Education (January 30, 2009) by Thomas H. Benton
• “Master’s Degrees Saddle Graduates with Debt” (August 2, 2021) by Mark J. Drozdowski
• “Graduate programs have become a cash cow for struggling universities. What does that mean for students?” PBS.org (September 18, 2017)

On Ancient Office Hours podcast, we speak with thought leaders from academia and the entertainment industry. We facilitate discussions with our guests focused on how they got into their field, the relevance of their research/work, and how the ancient world influences them. We examine the practical applicability of a degree in ancient studies in modern society and discuss the importance of continuing to fund humanities programs. Our goal is to increase access to information about the ancient world and the people who are influenced by it.
