Do you have experience of
✴️ HINDU ✴️ SIKH ✴️ MUSLIM ✴️ AFRO-CARIBBEAN ✴️
Or other UK minority funeral practices?
It’s so important to recruit diverse interview samples for research studies, and at the moment I’m simply not getting that right. I’d love your help to do better.

Loved being at last week's @cendeathsociety.bsky.social annual (and anniversary!) conference. A warm deathly community, as always - & probably the only time you'll ever see a formula in my work (leave chemistry to my far cleverer sister). Time to turn these slides and scribbles into a paper!

A Dr Riley double bill at New Insights into Scottish Deathways today. A lovely start to 2025 conferences, and a welcome chance to start drilling into two quite different ways of conceptualizing contemporary Scottish death & dying

Some ASDS postdocs planning before I log off for the year. I love this little group, and I'd love for you to join us in 2024! But for now, may each of you awkwardly introduce the topic of death, cryonics or funerals over a seasonal family meal, as I always do 🎄🎄🎄
