Overview
How and why have the dead been treated and commemorated so differently from prehistory through to the present day? Our MA in Death and Memory is a chronologically broad course that explores the complex history of death and memory, from the treatment of the body in the earliest hunter-gatherer societies to thinking about how people dealt with the dead in twentieth-century conflict. At the heart of the course, therefore, are the complex interactions between the living and the deceased seen in cemeteries, memorials and funerary cultures.
