Alyssa Bader

I am a Tsimshian anthropologist whose community-based, collaborative research program draws from a range of archaeological sciences, including paleogenomics, bioarchaeology, and stable isotope analysis. My current research is concentrated in the Northwest Coast of North America, where I am investigating relationships between diet, health, and socio-political dynamics in both ancestral and contemporary Indigenous communities. My research program is guided by a commitment to ethical, community-based research in partnership with Indigenous nations. I maintain a research affiliation with the聽聽and am an alum and faculty member of the聽聽USA program.
I am currently in the process of developing an anthropological genomics lab suite at 黑料不打烊 with dedicated space for paleogenomic, contemporary genomic, and bioarchaeological research.
