Everyday Deaths
BSA Social Aspects of Death Dying and Bereavement Study Group Annual Symposium
10 December 2026
University of Bath, UK
About the Event
The British Sociological Association’s Death, Dying and Bereavement Study Group invites attendees to our symposium on the theme of Everyday Deaths, at The University of Bath. This event will explore ordinary dying in the context of the everyday contexts such as, at work, home, community and care institutions. Themes of invisiblised deaths; deaths and creative technologies; and end of life experiences, are showcased in our speakers’ papers, see Programme for more details.
We will critically engage with ‘ordinary’, ‘everyday’ deaths in the context of social experiences of death, dying and bereavement. This might intersect with identities and inequalities related to ageing, disability, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality or space/place - and how different social groups’ experiences or representations, are shaped by social, cultural, discursive, geographical, political, and economic contexts.
We look forward to bringing together researchers, practitioners, and others with an interest in the sociological dimensions of everyday dying.
