A resource and community for Black-identifying scholars in the field of biological anthropology

Our Mission
 

The Black in BioAnth (BiBA) Collective seeks to provide a community and support system for biological anthropologists who navigate the world racialized as Black individuals.The collective is inclusive of all Black biological anthropologists across Africa and the African diaspora, as well as of Black scholars in allied fields. We welcome all Black academics and non-academic professionals at all stages of their career, regardless of methodological approach or theoretical orientation. Most importantly, the Black in BioAnth Collective welcomes, celebrates, and supports Black biological anthropologists of every age, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, ability status, faith, and citizenship status.
