Dr. Emily Holland is an Assistant Professor of Biological Anthropology at Brandon University, where she has been since 2014. She serves as a forensic anthropologist collaborating with the Manitoba Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, RCMP, First Nations Police, and Winnipeg Police Service. Her research focuses on forensic anthropology (search/recovery, juvenile skeletal analysis, trauma interpretation) and bioarchaeology (child health, growth, and societal impacts of disease). She actively integrates technology into fieldwork and lab methodologies. Holland is a co-investigator on a SSHRC-funded project examining childhood social realities through skeletal remains.
