Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the University of Bath will be hosting the
7th International Conference on the Social Context of Death Dying and
Disposal from 15-18th September 2005.
The conference covers all social aspects of death, dying and loss. It is a
multi-disciplinary residential conference for anthropologists,
archaeologists, art and architectural historians, artists, bereavement
counsellors, cultural geographers, deathwork practitioners, historians,
literary theorists, medical and health practitioners, palliative care
workers, philosophers, psychologists, students of religion, social policy
analysts, sociologists and those in the legal professions.
Plenary speakers will be Robert Kastenbaum (University of Arizona, USA);

Christopher’s Hospice, UK).
This international conference will be held in the World Heritage city of
Bath. A social programme is planned including an evening wine reception in
the flood-lit Roman Baths.
