Dr. Erin Kimmerle

Dr. Erin Kimmerle is a forensic anthropologist and the director of the University of South Florida's Institute of Forensic Anthropology and Applied Science. She gained recognition for her extensive research and excavation work at the site of the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, where she uncovered human remains in over 55 graves, revealing the tragic history of abuse and neglect suffered by the boys who were sent there. Her findings not only provided a deeper understanding of this dark chapter in Florida's history but also contributed to the narrative of the Oscar-nominated film 'Nickel Boys,' where she served as an anthropological consultant.
