Diversity, Representation, and Inclusion in Forensic Anthropology
This chapter examines the impacts of colonialism, systemic racism, and economic disadvantage on education and research in forensic anthropology today. We explore how these barriers influence policy and affect the professional application of forensic anthropology, including a case study detailing one author’s (NY) experience researching her ancestors within a process controlled by their colonizers. Finally, we propose solutions to address these is…
Looking Upstream: Applying Social Theory to the Interpretation of the Forensic Record
Traditionally, the field of forensic anthropology has built its foundation on being an objective observer of human behavior to answer questions of medicolegal significance. With the publication of the NAS report in 2009, the field continues to fulfill scientific criteria by analyzing data and providing statistical validation for methods of identification, yet may often fall short in offering interpretations of the patterns that exist and the unde…
Speaking Truth to Power: Toward a Forensic Anthropology of Advocacy and Activism
Over the years, the field of forensic anthropology has become more diverse, bringing unique perspectives to a previously homogeneous field. This diversification has been accompanied by recognizing the need for advocacy and activism in an effort to support the communities we serve: marginalized communities that are often overrepresented in the forensic population. As such, forensic anthropologists see the downstream effects of colonialism, white s…
Publicly Underrepresented Genocides of the 20th and 21st Century: A Review
Forensic anthropologists have been involved in investigating genocide and crimes against humanity for many decades. Raphael Lempkin first coined the term “genocide” in 1944, and in 1946, the United Nations General Assembly codified it as an independent crime. However, there has not been a systematic review available to better understand the history of many of these atrocities. Moreover, many of these events have not been discussed outside the cul…
Vulnerabilities for Marginalized Groups in the United States Forensic Anthropology Education System: Paths to Engagement and Belonging
Implicit and explicit barriers to building a culture of belonging persist in U.S. forensic anthropology. These barriers create and exacerbate vulnerabilities, especially among marginalized groups, that need to be addressed. The lack of diversity in U.S. forensic anthropology is well documented. At the same time, there has been a significant upswing in academic programs focusing on forensic anthropology at both the undergraduate and graduate level…
The Missing and the Marginalized: A Biocultural Approach to Forensic Anthropology at the US/Mexico Border
Violence and trauma are nestled in human rights violations worldwide. Since the 1980s, several international and domestic organizations have formed to conduct investigations following instances of political unrest and sociocultural violence. These inhumane events are evidenced by structural violence, an invisible trauma that exacerbates societal discrepancies within a population and can manifest harm to marginalized groups. Structural violence ca…
Pioneers of Color: A Counternarrative of Foundational Figures in Forensic Anthropology's History
Popular renditions on the history of forensic anthropology have traced the discipline's roots back to early European anatomy and nineteenth to twentieth-century American research and applications to the legal system, often highlighting the works of several recurring figures. These forebearers are overwhelmingly composed of white men to the exclusion of, as we argue here, pioneers of color. As a counter to prevailing Eurocentric narratives, we pre…
