    Sarah Brudenell

    MA Anthropology Student

    Sarah is advised by Dr. Cheryl Anderson. Her research is in bioarchaeology with a focus in the bioarchaeology of inequality and exploring how the connections between SES (socioeconomic status) and health are reflected in the osteological record. She hopes to further explore this using data from the Museum of London (Wellcome Osteological Database).
