As an anthropologist and religious studies scholar, I am mostly interested in how diverse people experience dying, death, and spaces of disposal. In a previous research project, I focused on cemeteries as diverse spaces of inclusion and exclusion. My fieldwork took place in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In future research, I wish to expand my knowledge on dying, death and places of disposal, amongst others by incorporating a multispecies perspective. Further information is available on my website.
