Hi. We are the death cluster, run by Meghan, Yasmine & Chindilani as part of the AHRC's SWWDTP programme.

Despite our chosen topic we’re a friendly bunch and we’re always open to new members.

The point of the death cluster is to give people somewhere to talk about mortality and how it relates to everyday life. Lots of academic spheres touch on death — philosophy, archaeology, biology, medicine — but even outside of academia, death is an ever-present yet often unacknowledged character in our lives.

We have an ongoing schedule of events planned, most of which are taking place online so that we can invite people from all over the world to participate.
