This course will explore the roles and responsibilities of forensic anthropology - a sub-discipline of anthropology that addresses medico-legal issues - in the context of global disasters, forced and voluntary displacements and migrations, and human rights. Namely, what are the varied geopolitical contexts in which forensic anthropologists participate in humanitarian response? What are the ethical issues involved in humanitarian work? How does forensic science in global human rights contexts differ from local applications? How can forensic anthropology contribute to post- disaster recovery? This course fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area(s): Scientific Inquiry I, Global Citizenship and Intercultural Literacy, Critical Thinking.
