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.
