The 8th International Conference on the Social Context of Death, Dying and
Disposal

Wednesday 12 - Saturday 15 September 2007 Hilton City Hotel, Bath

CALL FOR PAPERS

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.
