Join this Zoom event where we discuss The Routledge Handbook of Museums Heritage and Death

Join us for a thought-provoking Zoom talk exploring the complex and often sensitive intersections of museums, heritage, and death, through the lens of contemporary practice and research.

Cat Irving, Human Remains Conservator at Surgeons’ Hall Museum, will by Katie Stringer, one of the editors of The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Heritage and Death, for a discussion of the themes and ideas explored in this landmark publication.

Bringing together diverse perspectives from across the sector, the handbook examines how museums engage with death, human remains, and remembrance, from ethical considerations and conservation to interpretation and public engagement, offering insight into how these challenging subjects are understood and presented today.

It is not necessary to have read The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Heritage and Death to join this event, but if you would like to, further information can be found here.
