Adolescence is a key phase of life,
marked by drastic biological and social changes. Yet, despite adolescence being
such a transformational period of life, we know relatively little about it in
past populations; the study of adolescence in biological anthropology has only
recently emerged.
Emerging Adolescence: A Virtual Workshop was held on November 1 & 2, 2021. Hosted by Creighton Avery and Megan Brickley, this workshop brought together graduate students, emerging scholars, and faculty members, to discuss the study of adolescence, and how investigations of adolescence can enhance our understanding of the past more broadly.
