Course Description
The forensic anthropologists who can read the stories that human skeletons tell us are often called to testify when human rights are violated. In this course, students examine how forensic anthropology is used as a tool and its application following atrocity and other human rights concerns. Each week focuses on a different aspect of forensic anthropology and how it has been used in various global case studies. Students discuss and explore how forensic anthropology can be used to advocate for the living and dead, how and when its 'expertise' is used, who decides the purpose of forensic investigations, and what ethical practice looks like.
