Working with human skeletal remains comes with a huge responsibility and we need to consider the challenges of teaching collections and their origins. We will be talking about this in class and ensuring that we each make a commitment to ethical work with skeletal collections in a way that fits with our own values and ideas.

Please email me (waterhousek@camosun.ca) with any thoughts, comments or concerns. I want to engage with every student on this topic so please get in touch.

I talked a little about my own thoughts in the email I sent you and you can find the article which we will be reading as our week 1 reading here: Haunted by my Teaching Skeleton
