Unexpected Questions Force Us to Revisit Important Topics!
Carina Leirião is pursuing a PhD in Anthropology and conducts her research at the Research Center in Forensic Anthropology (CIAS). In this edition of PubhD, Carina spoke to us about “Bones of the Trade: The Necropolis of the Military Hospital of São Jorge Castle (17th-18th Century).”
Why did you decide to participate in PubhD Coimbra?
I think it’s important to share our research beyond our laboratories. Usually, [our lab colleagues] are working on similar topics, so this way, we get a slightly more diverse audience.
How was your experience in this edition of PubhD Coimbra?
It was really good. Some questions came up which were unexpected, because the theme is so ingrained in my mind that I no longer think about certain aspects. It’s always beneficial to revisit some of these topics.
Would you recommend other colleagues to participate?
Yes, absolutely. I’m already trying to bring some people from the lab to come and speak here as well.
