Queer Death Studies Network

From the website: The Queer Death Studies Network was officially launched in November 2016 at the G16: Swedish National Gender Research Conference in Linköping and has been vividly developing since then. The co-founders of the network are Nina Lykke, Marietta Radomska, Tara Mehrabi, Annika Johnsson, Line Henricksen and Varpu Alasuutari. The Network constitutes a space for researchers, students, artists, activists and other practitioners who critically and (self) reflexively challenge conventional normativities, assumptions, expectations and regimes of truth that are brought to life and made evident by death, dying and mourning.
