Listen "Is There a Future for Archaeology in Ghana?"
Episode Synopsis
There's a 50/50 chance for students who gain admission to study a course in humanities at Ghana's premiere university, the University of Ghana, to be offered archaeology as a course of study. Fewer students out of the number minor or major in archaeology in their final year. It is one of the courses at the university many students would rather avoid. So why did Beatrice Darko-Yeboah (PhD) give up her dream of becoming a banker to pursue a career in archaeology to the point of becoming the second female ever in the University's history to obtain a PhD in the subject? Dr. Darko-Yeboah tells us about her journey and why archaeology appears to be an unpopular subject. And a Swiss court rules a luxury watch making company was within right to ask workers to clock-out when going to use the bathroom.
