For most people around the world and throughout time, the solution has been techniques of preservation (embalming, freezing), followed by burial or cremation. But new ‘green death’ and ‘high tech’ solutions - like human composting and alkaline hydrolysis - are emerging, as well as speculative, creative means of handling human ash. In this talk, Dr Gould talk explores the scientific, cultural, and ethical dimensions of how we choose to handle the dead and how these choices reflect our deepest held values.Your Speaker:Dr Hannah Gould is cultural anthropologist reproaching death, religion and technology in Australia and North-East Asia. Her research spans new traditions and technologies of death rites, the lifecycle of religious materials, and contemporary spirituality. Dr Gould is currently Senior Lecturer in Buddhist Studies in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies and a member of the DeathTech Research Team at the University of Melbourne. Her new book, ‘How to Die in the 21st Century’ was published with Thames &amp; Hudson in March 2026.BOOKS AVAILABLE FOR SALE &amp; AUTHOR SIGNING.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PMDoors open and arrival🕑: 07:00 PMSpeaker starts
