Professor Emma Bell, Research Institute for Social Sciences, recently co-organised a workshop on 'Death, Memory and Loss' with Janne Tienari, Aalto University, Finland and Örebro University, Sweden.

The two-day event at Keele was attended by eighteen researchers from UK universities, including Essex, Bradford, London and Swansea, and by scholars from National University of Ireland, University of Gothenburg and Stockholm University. 

There was also a presentation from Tony Walter, Professor of Death Studies at the Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath. 

Papers covered a range of topics, including company closure and workplace suicides, and will form the basis for a Special Issue of the journal 'Culture and Organization'.
