Light baryon spectroscopy at BESIII

Based on the data sample of $2.7\times {10}^9$ $\psi (3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, this contribution presents recent advances in baryon spectroscopy. Key results from amplitude analyses of the decay channels $\psi (3686)\to p\bar{p}{\pi }^0$, $\psi (3686)\to p\bar{p}\eta$, and $\psi (3686)\to \mathrm{\Lambda }{\bar{\mathrm{\Sigma }}}^0{\pi }^0+c\mathrm{.}c\mathrm{.}$ are summarized. Prospects for future baryon spectroscopy studies at BESIII are also discussed.
