My geographic area of focus is European, and literally all of my post-graduate schooling took place in Europe (UK). I have successfully co-led several international study abroad programs for Weber State. I have strong interests in applied anthropology, specifically osteology and forensic anthropology (my Masters Thesis was an osteological survey of mid-bronze age human mandibles from South Wales).Bibliography:McManama-Kearin, L.
