Underwater Archaeology in Belize with Dr. Andrew Kinkella

Welcome Professor of Archaeology at Moorpark College, Dr. Andrew Kinkella! To start off our discussion we go back to Dr. Kinkella’s undergraduate days at UC Santa Barbara, and how it guided his journey in Anthropology. Hear about his Intro to Archaeology teacher, Professor Brian Fegan, and how his captivating teaching style inspired Kinkella to want to do the same thing in his teaching. We emphasize the importance of work life balance, having outside passions, and taking a double major or classes outside of your major. He breaks down his first internship and field experience with Anabelle Ford in Belize looking at Maya sites, and how it ignited a love of traveling and fieldwork. He also breaks down his various roles at Moorpark College, including running the Moorpark College Archaeological Program.
