Call for papers – 2nd Nordic Symposium of Death and Dying

We wish you all welcome to the 2nd Nordic Symposium of Death and
Dying, which will be held in Helsinki, Finland on April 25th – 27th
2012. The symposium is intended for the members of the Nordic Network
of Thanatology and also all the other professionals working in the
fields connected to matters of death and dying.

The theme of the conference is “Dying, Death and Bereavement - Nordic
Perspectives". Broad range of interest is typical of thanatology/death
studies and cross-disciplinary approaches are especially welcome. In
the conference we will be able to make comparisons between the Nordic
countries; if some research project is already making them that would
be particularly interesting. People’s own agency in matters of death,
dying and bereavement is also of special interest, as well as papers
on death and emotions and death in various institutions.

Please feel free to circulate this CFP. Abstracts (no more than 250
words) should be sent to Ilona Kemppainen
(ilona.kemppainen at helsinki.fi) by November 30th 2011. Also enquiries
regarding the conference may be sent to this address. We will mail all
the participants about travel, accommodation, programme, conference
venue etc. shortly.
