SUMMARY:Through a decolonising lens? Exploring the connections between 'bereavement and grief' and the climate and ecological emergencies
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nYou are warmly invited to an online Human Geography Research Cluster seminar on Thursday 13th March\, 1pm- 1.50pm (Teams link for joining below). \nThrough a decolonising lens? Exploring the connections between ‘bereavement and grief’ and the climate and ecological emergencies. \nJane McCarthy\, Honorary Associate\, The Open University; Visiting Professor\, Centre for Death and Society\, Bath University; Visiting Fellow\, University of Reading. \nAbstract \nThe impact of the climate and ecological emergency creates a central threat regarding the polycrisis currently unfolding across the globe\, rooted in colonial\, capitalist\, white\, modernity. While many peoples across the world already experience catastrophic ‘losses’ of many kinds\, the polycrisis gives rise to global issues of collective and individualised deaths\, profound losses and endings of many kinds\, raising existential threats to all life on earth. These are ’human’-made crises\, though not made equally by all ‘humans’\, requiring a sustained focus and concern\, of and for the living\, in both the anticipation and the aftermath of these deaths\, losses\, and endings. Yet\, while death and bereavement studies as constructed in affluent Minority worlds has claimed an arrogant universality\,  the narrative and rhetoric of modernity is most profoundly challenged by human mortality. The Open University programme on Existential Dis/Connections aims to bring currently disparate bodies of work into connection\, centring on our three core themes of death and loss\, the CEE\, and decolonisation. We seek to create new spaces for nurturing and embracing both epistemic and ontological justice\, to enable a pluriverse of cosmologies\, and ways of being and living alongside death\, to be valued and heard through a decolonising lens that starts from ‘elsewhere’. Can death studies decentre the current dominant approaches rooted in modernity\, to contribute towards an existential climate justice for the benefit all life and entities on earth? \n________________________________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 380 745 621 309\nPasscode: HzkWeL \n\n\n\nDial in by phone\n+44 20 7660 8335\,\,138757062# United Kingdom\, City of London\nFind a local number\nPhone conference ID: 138 757 062#\nFor organisers: Meeting options| Reset dial-in PIN\nUniversity of Reading \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Disturbing the dead: Climate change and the potential relocation of Swedish cemeteries
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nYou are warmly invited to a Human Geography Research Cluster/ Global Development Research Division in person (Sorby Room 115\, 1st Floor of Wager Building) / hybrid seminar (1-2pm on 27/3/25). \nDisturbing the dead: Climate change and the potential relocation of Swedish cemeteries\nRoger Marjavaara\, Umeå University\, Sweden. \nAbstract \nThis presentation focuses on the contradiction of mobility and immobility in relation to interred human remains. While society generally embraces human mobility\, once individuals pass away and are disposed of\, mobility ceases to be the norm. Some counties\, like Sweden\, has a rigid burial legislation that prohibits the re-location of interred human remains. However\, both society- and climate-related events are increasingly affecting the eternal rest of the deceased. Utilizing quantitative data on all cemeteries in Sweden\, this study aims to assess and analyse the potential magnitude of future large-scale moves of human remains due to expected impacts of climate change\, and to put this into a relational context of norms and laws. Results show that climate change poses an apparent risk to cemeteries in Sweden. \nBiography \nRoger Marjavaara is associate professor in human geography at the department of geography at Umeå University\, Sweden. The main focus of his research is the driving forces and consequences of human mobility. Here\, temporary mobility\, or tourism\, is of special interest\, especially second home tourism and its impact on places and people. Dr. Marjavaara also has an interest in production and reproduction of places\, and retail geography and mobile consumers. Further\, post-mortal mobility is another field that has attracted his research attention. \n________________________________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 357 220 295 754\nPasscode: L53Cmw \n\n\n\nDial in by phone\n+44 20 7660 8335\,\,915358739# United Kingdom\, City of London\nFind a local number\nPhone conference ID: 915 358 739#\nFor organisers: Meeting options| Reset dial-in PIN\nUniversity of Reading \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
