About
Interests: My academic/research interests include bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology, human osteology, human rights and disaster studies, Galilean archaeology, human evolution, and hominid cranial morphology.
Experience: I have spent the past two summers as a square supervisor on an archaeological dig at a site called Shikhin, which is located north of Nazareth, Israel. This summer I will attend a forensic anthropology short course at the University of Tennessee on the topic of skeletal trauma.
I am really enjoying my graduate courses thus far! Some of my favorites include ANTH 650 Health and Disease, ANTH 626 Community Food Security, and ANTH 562 Anthropology of Refugees
