While growing up, Myra Sitchon always thought of pursuing a career in visual arts or computer graphics. After taking an introductory physical anthropology course late in her undergraduate studies, she decided to follow a path in human skeletal biology and archaeology. As she worked in the fields of forensics and archaeology, she recognized how digital media technology has a significant role in presenting anthropological interpretations to the public. Working with
Dr. Robert Hoppa as an anthropology doctoral student and a recipient of a SSHRC doctoral fellowship, Sitchon is combining her passions by exploring the use of digital media and 3-D modeling technology in providing specialists and non-specialists with a visual means of identifying with the past.
