The Social Context of Death Dying and Disposal 8th International Conference
Call for abstracts
The Social Context of Death, Dying and Disposal conference covers all
aspects of death, dying and bereavement, including a rich range of arts-
related contributions. 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.
The conference has been held every two years since 1993, with the most
recent at the University of Bath in 2005, attracting over 200 delegates
from around the world and generating a great deal of media attention. The
2007 conference is being jointly organised by the University of Bath’s
Centre for Death and Society (CDAS) and the Institute of Contemporary
Interdisciplinary Arts (ICIA).
Abstracts (max 300 words) for conference papers are invited on any social
aspect of death dying and disposal. As this is a multi-disciplinary
conference abstracts need to communicate clearly with delegates from a wide
range of disciplines.
