Discussion group – by Zoom

Over time there have been shifts and changes in rituals around death and dying, with changes in cultural norms and new technologies changing our relationship with death.  These transformations are seen across funeral practices through to how we perceive and handle death. 

In this upcoming LGPA discussion group Dr Hannah Gould will share her insights and understanding of this topic, with space for questions and discussion at the end of the presentation by Hannah.

Here, Hannah briefly introduces herself:

"I am a cultural anthropologist interested in death, Buddhism, and material culture in Australia and North-East Asia. My research spans new traditions and technologies of Buddhist death rites, the lifecycle of religious materials, and modern lifestyle movements. In sum, I study the stuff of death and death of stuff.

Alongside academic research and publishing, I create public programs to advocate for more equitable systems of deathcare for all."

We look forward to seeing you at this discussion group for an interesting and insightful presentation and discussion.
