ANTH 2630 Ethics in Human Remains
In this course we will reflect and discuss ethical perspectives surrounding the handling, treatment, display, curation, trade, and research of human remains. In doing so, we will consider how ethical perspectives vary according to national, legal, spiritual, and cultural contexts. Additionally, we will consider debates on how the state of human remains, whether mummified, skeletonized, dissected, desiccated, etc., factors into ethical discussions on what is deemed permissible (or prohibited) in the handling of human remains.
