Biography

I completed my masters in anthropology in 2019 at McMaster University in Canada. My research considered the intersection of geography, urbanisation, funerary treatment, age, and sex on fracture rates in 1st – 8th c. CE Roman settlements. Additionally, during my masters, I was part of a team that looked at vitamin D deficiency and migration in Roman Period Switzerland. I’ve been lucky to participate in excavations in Canada as well as Italy.

In my undergraduate at the University of Victoria (Canada), I completed joint degrees in sociology and anthropology, focusing on both sociological theory and osteology.

Research

My current PhD considers the discourse between sex and gender in skeletal analysis. Delving into osteotheory, I will be examining how we sex bodies along a sex/gender binary and what that means to the production of bioarchaeological research.
