More specifically, I\u00a0intend to assess the affects of hormonal therapies on skeletal morphology in transgender individuals, and examine the implications of this on the identification of transgender individuals in forensic anthropology. I am additionally interested in examining the generation of microclimates from textile degradation during the post mortem interval, and the impact of such microclimates of the rates of decomposition.My previous research has focused on variation in cranial traits and\u00a0skeletal indicators of stress in archaeological populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Lab Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seriation of C.
