Stacey is Lecturer in Biological Anthropology at the Australian National University, specialising in the analysis of archaeological human remains. Stacey’s current research foci include exploring the effectiveness of online practical training in biological anthropology, exploring the global dispersal of intentional cranial modification behaviours using spatial statistics, and investigating the biocultural impacts of large-scale social change in late prehistoric communities in Northeast Thailand. Her previous research investigated heavy metal exposure among early Bronze Age metallurgists in Thailand, a characterisation of cremation practices in historic Laos, and an exploration of the relationship between health and social inequality in ancient Thailand. Stacey is an enthusiastic and award-winning teacher, using active, authentic, and experiential teaching approaches to introduce learners to basic and advanced human skeletal analysis and forensic anthropology.
