Acclaimed Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Erin Kimmerle to Speak at 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播

Written By: Rachel Putman

The 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 鈥� Fort Smith will host Dr. Erin Kimmerle, esteemed forensic anthropologist, artist, and author, for two special guest lectures on Friday, April 19, 2024.

Dr. Kimmerle will share insights from her groundbreaking work investigating unmarked cemeteries, mass graves, crime scenes and even the suspected remains of Amelia Earhart.

"We are so excited for Dr. Kimmerle to come to campus," said Dr. Ann-Gee Lee, professor and assistant chair of the English, Rhetoric and Writing, and Media Communication program at 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播. "She is amazing and so down-to-earth (pun intended)." 

The first lecture will take place at noon in the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Windgate Art & Design Building, Room 107, followed by an evening talk at 6 p.m. in the Breedlove Auditorium. Both events promise to deliver thought-provoking discussions on forensic anthropology, cold case investigations, and the importance of uncovering historical injustices.

Dr. Kimmerle will also discuss her powerful book, We Carry Their Bones: The Search for Justice at the Dozier School for Boys.

Her research at the Dozier School has received national acclaim for uncovering the dark history of the institution and striving for justice for the victims and their families. Her work emphasizes the critical role of forensic science in addressing past crimes and illuminating the truths buried in history.

"Bringing in her perspectives will add multidimensional layers to the discussions we have been having about The Nickel Boys in our classrooms and in the community," Lee said.  

In 2023, the university welcomed novelist Colson Whitehead as its inaugural Winthrop Rockefeller Distinguished Lecturer, and throughout the spring semester, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 composition II classes read his Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Nickel Boys.

"With We Carry Their Bones, Erin Kimmerle continues to unearth the true story of the Dozier School, a tale more frightening than any fiction. In a corrupt world, her unflinching revelations are as close as we'll come to justice," Whitehead said.

Dr. Kimmerle is also the co-host of the new podcast, Signal 8, which delves into cold case homicides and missing persons, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes view of the challenges in criminal investigations and forensic art.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with Dr. Kimmerle, including a book signing session for those present in person. For participants unable to attend in person, both talks will be streamed on Zoom.

 

This event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.
