Digital Death Day Europe
Date: Tuesday, September 13th 2011
Consecutive to 'Death, Dying and Disposal' Academic Meeting (September 9 - 12)
Nijmegen, Netherlands
Notes
Conference call January 2011
General discussion & practicalities
- The overseas DDD actions are focusing on SXSW and some other events now. Not sure how much of that is relevant for DDD-Europe.
- We like to be informed and put our information out, but it's probably clearer if DDD-Europe has its own wiki-notes-page (todo: Esther)
- No need for a separate mailinglist at this point.
Events
- Death, Dying and Disposal - Academic meeting in Nijmegen (NL) in September http://www.ru.nl/ct/english/call_for_papers/ddd_10_international/
- June conference in Bath (UK): Death and dying in the digital age (Stacey: do you have a link for this event?)
- Cross-pollination with these events. Bath is not interested in an alliance. Nijmegen has no 'digital' component on the agenda.
- Stacey is writing a paper for the Nijmegen conference. If you want to pitch in...
Organizational
- Contact organisation of conference in Nijmegen
- Stacey: mail organisers
- Esther: talk to ppl locally, ask for cooperation and options
