Under the supervision of Prof. Tanya Luhrmann, Ph.D. student Alexa Hagerty will investigate the practices of forensic scientists involved in humanitarian exhumation. By using semi-structured interviews, surveys and participation in the daily activities at exhumation sites, labs, storage facilities and family homes, the researcher will explore what humanitarian exhumation means to those most intimately involved: forensic teams and families of the missing. Despite the stated aim of engaging in 'science in service of families',forensic scientists undertaking humanitarian exhumation are often shocked and dismayed to learn that family members oppose exhumation. By undertaking ethnographic research with a forensics team that pioneered this young field and is the leader in terms of training of other teams internationally, the co-PI will be able to advise forensic scientists on how to better achieve their aims. In addition to resulting in a dissertation, the findings will be shared with forensic scientists at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences conference.

在Tanya Luhrmann教授的监督下，博士学生Alexa Hageland将调查参与人道主义挖掘的法医科学家的做法。通过半结构化访谈、调查和参与挖掘现场、实验室、储存设施和家庭住宅的日常活动，研究人员将探讨人道主义挖掘对最密切相关的人：法医小组和失踪人员家属意味着什么。尽管宣称的目标是从事“为家庭服务的科学”，但从事人道主义挖掘的法医科学家在得知家庭成员反对挖掘时往往感到震惊和沮丧。 通过与一个开创了这一年轻领域并在国际上培训其他团队方面处于领先地位的法医团队进行人种学研究，共同主要研究者将能够就如何更好地实现其目标向法医科学家提供建议。除了撰写论文外，研究结果还将在美国法医科学院会议上与法医科学家分享。
