The University of West Florida’s College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities (CASSH) is proud to announce this year’s Gulf Coast Culture Series theme: Pensacola Noir. Dr. Allysha Winburn, a biological anthropologist specializing in forensic and bioarchaeological research, and Dr. Cate Bird, missing persons & forensic manager for the International Committee of the Red Cross (United States & Canada), will examine the lasting cultural impact of the television series “Murder, She Wrote.”
The discussion will explore how the show shaped public fascination with forensic evidence and influenced popular understandings of crime solving. Drawing on their own expertise, Winburn and Bird will connect the fictional world of Jessica Fletcher to the realities of forensic anthropology, investigative work and human rights, revealing how cultural narratives intersect with science and justice.
This event is free and open to the public. Reception 5:30 p.m. Event 6–8 PM. Please register at the link below.
This installment of the Gulf Coast Culture Series is sponsored by the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities and the John C. Pace Symposium Series.
