Presentation at Deathscapes of the Future workshop
Ruth gave a well received presentation on ‘Caring for the dead: time-space practices in urban Senegal’ at the Deathscapes of the Future workshop convened by Avril Maddrell at University of West of England, Bristol, 7th June 2016. The interdisciplinary workshop provided a great opportunity for sharing ideas about cultural diversity in deathscapes, cemetery spaces and memorialisation in different international contexts.
