The second Virtual Cemeteries Colloquium will take place on 20th November 2026 and the call for paper is now open. We invite papers on places and practices relating to disposing the dead including burial, cremation and other technologies. Papers are expected to fall within social science and humanities disciplines, demonstrate theoretical engagement and include empirical data. Each paper will have a thirty-minute time slot: presenters are expected to speak for around twenty minutes, to allow time for questions.
As always, with the Colloquium, this is a particularly supportive environment for postgraduate students and postdocs. We encourage submissions from around the world, and panels will be organised to accommodate a range of time zones. All presentations must be in English.
Please submit your abstract using the google form here. The deadline for submission is 2nd October 2026. The event is free to attend, and tickets will be available via the CRG website from 6th October.
If you have any questions about the event, please get in touch: julierugg36@gmail.com
