DDD10

Dear Sir/ Madam,

The tenth Death, Dying and Disposal Conference (DDD10): Changing European Death Ways: New Perspectives in Death Studies.
We look forward to welcome you to the DDD’s first visit to Continental Europe and to Nijmegen, the oldest city in The Netherlands.
The conference will be held at the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, on 9-12 September 2011 under the auspices of the University’s Centre for Thanatology and Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies, and the international Association for the Study of Death and Society (ASDS).
The conference seeks to contribute to a comparative framework to improve our understanding of the rapidly and radically changing death ways, as well as to an integration of research-traditions from various countries in Europe and elsewhere. The overarching theme of the conference is mortuary variation in Europe and beyond.
Because dealing with death provides a valuable focus for comparative research on human experience and cultural life, proposals for papers are invited that relate to death, dying and disposal. Abstracts for papers (maximum of 250 words) and outlines of poster-topics (150 words) may be sent to thanatology@ru.nl.
Details concerning the conference programme will be made available on-line at the website of the Centre for Thanatology, Radboud University Nijmegen: www.ru.nl/ct/en.
To subscribe please fill out the form in the attachment and send it back to thanatology@ru.nl. Various discounts are available. Information can be found in the registration form.
You can always contact us for further information.

Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Eric Venbrux
