We warmly invite you to attend our Closure Conference, 9 and 10 April 2025, and
encourage you to register here: https://pay.durham.ac.uk/event-durham/closure-conference-2025.

The conference will take place at Dunelm House, The Students' Union Building, in
central Durham. The conference will begin at 1:15pm on Wednesday 9th April and
conclude at 5:30pm on Thursday 10th April, except for those wishing to attend
the conference dinner at Hatfield College from 7pm on Thursday 10th April.

Across two-days, attendees will hear from over 20 speakers, representing a
diverse range of professional and disciplinary perspectives drawing from
anthropology-sociology, theology, ceramic-pottery art, music, funeral directing,
funeral celebrants, and palliative care, as well as more personal reflections on
loss and grief. All talks, some longer and some shorter, are in a plenary
context and not parallel sessions, as to provide everyone with a widely shared
audience.

On Wednesday evening, there will be a special public lecture with Dr Kathryn
Mannix (well-known palliative care physician) and Dr Julian Stair (one of the
UK’s leading potters) in conversation with Professor Douglas Davies, followed by
a drinks reception with views overlooking the River Wear and Durham Cathedral.
This event is included in the full conference package.

We will share a detailed programme with you shortly.

Accommodation is available at a discounted rate of £56.25 per night (B&B) at
Grey College – a four-minute drive or fifteen-minute walk away from the
conference venue.

Full registration (including lunch and refreshments, plus public lecture and
drinks reception): £185
Conference dinner, three-courses (optional): £50
Accommodation, bed and breakfast (optional): £56.25 per night
