We will be having a forensic scientist from the Henry C. Lee Institute presenting at our summer conference! Dr. Fred Smith will give a presentation and a workshop; however if you are interested in more in-depth study this is a great opportunity for anyone teaching or interested in forensic science. (There are two different sessions listed so scroll down to see both). Jerusha Vogel Forensic Anthropology for Educators June 27-July 1, 2011 $695.00 FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY FOR EDUCATORS The Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science provides an in-depth, practical, hands on workshop on methods of finding, recovering and identifying human remains. Beginning with search methodologies, including ground penetrating radar, magnetic sensing and aerial photography, the course examines the difficulties encountered in searching for missing persons who are presumed dead. Once the remains have been located, the emphasis shifts to recovery and preservation of valuable evidence that can be lost by incomplete or improper recovery. Archaeological techniques that provide stratigraphic control and proper documentation are essential to proper forensic recovery. The course then examines the various components of identification. Are the remains human? How many persons and their personal identification are determined using techniques of forensic anthropology. Establishing the time of death is also an important element of the analysis of human remains. Each area will be addressed by both lectures with case history, and practical exercises in search methods, excavation, and analysis of human and non-human skeleton remains. DAY 1 Methods of Searching Theory and Practice Human Skeletal Anatomy DAY 2 Principles of Archaeology Recovery of Human Remains Theory and Practice Field Exercises in Finding a Missing Body DAY 3 Time of Death Rates of Decomposition Forensic Entomology DAY 4 Identification of Age, Sex and Race Personal Identification and Pathology Pre-mortem Injury and Cause of Death Field Exercises in Recovery of Human Remains DAY 5 Field Exercises in Recovery of Human Remains Forensic Science for Educators July 11-15, 2011 $695.00 The recent explosion of TV based Forensic Science shows has created a rush to quench that desire for knowledge. Many schools have recently initiated, or plan to initiate curriculum based on Forensic Science. This unprecedented interest in and multidisciplinary aspect of Forensic Science has created an effective method to teach science to students. While the science is a constant, it is the application of that science in a law enforcement setting that the Henry C Lee Institute of Forensic Science will be presenting in a comprehensive 5-day course. The Institute offers this hands-on course which is aimed at the educator who is already teaching, or is interested in teaching forensic science in a high school or middle school setting. The course will be taught in two different perspectives, from a scientist perspective and from the eyes of a crime scene investigator.
