Call for Papers: 11th Death, Dying and Disposal Conference

The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom September
5-8, 2013

We are delighted to announce that the eleventh biennial Death, Dying and
Disposal conference will be held at The Open University, Walton Hall Campus
in Milton Keynes between the 5th -8th September 2013 under the auspices of
the OU’s Faculty of Health & Social Care and the Association for the Study
of Death & Society (ASDS). We are arranging what we envisage will be a
thought-provoking and innovative event which will once again bring together
some of the leading international academics, practitioners and experts from
across the arts, humanities, social sciences and clinical fields that make
up the diverse arena of death and dying studies.

The underpinning rationale for the 2013 conference is ’Where theory meets
practice’ and we would like to welcome papers from academics, professionals
and practitioners from a range of disciplines on any issue or topic which
addresses this overarching theme. Academics might like to offer papers on
the impact of theory on practice or how the study of practice has changed
their ideas. There is also scope for researchers to present papers on the
experience of practice research. The theme should be central to your
offering.There are two submission deadlines for papers; 3rd December 2012
and the 4th March 2013 respectively.

Please submit your abstracts via email to hsc-re-events@open.ac.uk
