Dawnie Wolfe Steadman
Professor; Director, Forensic Anthropology Center | Biological Anthropology
Dawnie Wolfe Steadman is the Director of the Forensic Anthropology Center (FAC) and Professor of Anthropology. She has been a professor at Iowa State University and Binghamton University, SUNY before coming to the University of Tennessee in 2011. She is a Diplomate (#72) of the American Board of Forensic Anthropology and is a past Vice President of the Board. Her research interests lie in forensic anthropology, bioarcheology and human rights investigations. Her primary role as Director of the FAC is to generate and facilitate research, particularly novel technological applications, using FAC resources, including the Bass Donated Skeletal Collection and the Anthropological Research Facility.
Research
Dawnie Wolfe Steadman is a skeletal biologist who specializes in forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology and human rights investigations. She is a Board Certified Forensic Anthropologist and consults for medical examiners and law enforcement across the nation. Her edited book, Hard Evidence: Case Studies in Forensic Anthropology, is in its second edition and emphasizes the multidisciplinary, collaborative nature of the forensic sciences. Specific forensic research foci include quantifying statistical probabilities of personal identification from osteological evidence and validation studies of aging methods.
She has worked on both prehistoric and historic cemetery sites, including poorhouse cemeteries. Recent bioarchaeological work includes an NSF-funded study of warfare and community health in prehistoric Tennessee (with co-PI Charles Cobb), the epidemiological modeling of prehistoric diseases, and the application of population genetic models to prehistoric populations. She has been involved in human rights investigations in several countries, most recently in Spain and Uganda.
For the past few years, she has been collaborating with Professor Tricia Redeker-Hepner (Arizona State University-West), Lucia Elgrud (former UTK graduate student and currently Postdoctoral Fellow) on the project “The Agency of the Dead, Transitional Justice, and Forensic Science in Northern Uganda.”
