A question for my Paleo people...I am adding a class on ethics in Paleontology to my 4th year undergrad seminar on Primate Evolution. I'd appreciate some suggestions for readings that students at that level are likely to find digestible and relevant. Thanks! - ThreadSky

I have some I could send! I’ll try to remember to send them when I’m on my computer tomorrow.

I've used this graphical summary from Raja et al. (2021) for prompting class discussions on ethics in paleontology related to colonialism, article linked here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-021-01608-8

Marvellous, thank you!

Thanks for the shout-out of our paper @ichnologist.bsky.social! I lead a MSc module on Ethics & Law in Geosciences (with a focus on palaeo) - happy to share the full reading list and any material that might be helpful!

That would be marvellous if you’d be willing to share! I tried to send you a DM AND with my email address, but I don’t seem to be able to

This is a longer read, but it is meant to be a summary review that might work as well. Fun fact, I literally just gave my National Parks and Fossil Resources lecture today so some of this is fresh in my mind.

This sounds super interesting, and very relevant to our attempts to indigenize our curriculum. Thank you!
