As part of NEFHG’s formal connection with the Cemetery Research Group (CRG), we are pleased to share the call for papers for the third Virtual Colloquium, taking place on 21 November 2025.
The Colloquium welcomes contributions on places and practices relating to the disposal of the dead, including burial, cremation, and emerging technologies. Papers should demonstrate theoretical engagement, include empirical data, and fall within the social sciences or humanities. The event is especially supportive of postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
- Deadline for abstract submissions: 1 October 2025
- Ticket registration opens: 11 October 2025
Each paper has a 30-minute slot, with presentations expected to run for about 20 minutes to allow time for questions. Panels will be scheduled across time zones, and all presentations must be in English.
Further details, the abstract submission form, and registration will be available here. Abstracts from last year’s Virtual Colloquium can be found here.
