About the Author

Briana T. New is a distinguished forensic anthropologist and author whose work bridges the disciplines of science and social justice. With a PhD in anthropology from a leading institution, she has dedicated her career to uncovering the stories hidden within human remains, particularly those of marginalized communities often overlooked by mainstream narratives. Drawing from her extensive fieldwork and research, New explores how intersectional identities—shaped by race, gender, class, and more—influence the treatment of the deceased in contemporary society. Her writing combines rigorous academic insight with compelling storytelling, making complex topics accessible and urgent. Through her publications, she advocates for equity in forensic practices and challenges systemic biases in death investigations. New's contributions continue to influence both scholarly discourse and public awareness on the intersections of identity and mortality.
