Abstract

This piece, a conversation on the changing ethical obligations of forensic anthropology in the twenty-first century, arose out of myriad societal and disciplinary upheavals, including: insufficient ethical policies and recent debates about advocacy, activism, and antiracism in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS); ongoing discussions on the intersection of forensic anthropology with important social movements (e.g., Black Lives Matter [BLM], LGBTQ+, immigrant advocacies); and critical examinations of our skeletal curation practices and our colonialist past and present.
