5. The History of Pandemics in the Pacific and Traditional Economies - a podcast by Dr. Mere Tari Sovick

In today's episode we will be discussing pandemics and depopulation across the Pacific Region in history and traditional economies. Our Special Guest today is Mr. Kirk Huffman who was the first full-time Curator of the National Museum of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre (VKS) from 1977 until the end of 1989. He studied anthropology, prehistoric anthropology, and ethnology at the Universities of Newcastle, Oxford, and Cambridge in the UK, before carrying out his cultural fieldwork in Vanuatu. As an Anthropologist and ethnologist his keen insight and experience in the region makes him an ideal person for these topics. MWT was able to speak to him from his home in Sydney, Australia.
