Mariah E. Moe

About the Author

Mariah E. Moe 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 overlooked by mainstream narratives. Drawing from her extensive fieldwork and research, Moe explores how intersectional identities—shaped by race, gender, class, and more—influence experiences of death and remembrance in contemporary society. Her insightful analyses challenge readers to confront systemic inequalities through the lens of forensic evidence, making complex academic concepts accessible and compelling. Beyond academia, Moe is a sought-after speaker on topics of equity in science and advocates for inclusive practices in forensic investigations.
