Despite being imaged all around us in popular culture and the media, death and dying are, it often seems, the last taboo subjects in modern society.

The Australasian Death Studies Network brings together diverse fields of research and discussion that consider death and dying. These areas of investigation include creative arts, popular culture, health and community planning. The inaugural conference of the ADSN will take place in Noosa, Australia on 12 October 2015. There are also potential opportunities for publication.

For potential topics and how to submit, see the Call For Papers, and for more information on the ADSN, visit their website.
