Skeleton Keys: Bodies, the Archive, and Lived Lives with Professor Madeleine Mant from the Department of Anthropology

Bioarchaeological (the study of human skeletons from archaeological and historical contexts) engagement with questions of marginalization and social disenfranchisement is critical to questions of social justice in the examination of past lived lives. Learn about how marginalization may become embodied in the skeleton, the process by which individuals or skeletal collections may themselves become marginalized, and how archival sources can reveal bodies pushed to the edges of dominant narratives.
