I'm tackling afterlife conceptualisations and anthropocentric versus theocentric heaven today, and the book I'm reading just referred to this etching. Sorry, everyone, but I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS 😭

& thank you to @LeverhulmeTrust for making this childhood dream of a research project happen!
What do you want to be buried with?
Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, @JennieARiley1's TEDx talk draws on her research into contemporary grave goods, and why we need and want them.

The Gov has committed to extend the right to bereavement leave to include pre-24 week baby loss.
This is after we joined calls from MPs & @miscarriagea to implement bereavement leave for every baby loss: bit.ly/3FplUdu

Welcome to Grave Goods Wrapped!
Hours of staring at boob doodles & so so worth it - I've had so much fun working on this collab already (and lots more to come - watch this space!)
Throughout our #MuseumOfMankind exhibition, we've been asking visitors what they cherish enough to be buried with. Contemporary grave goods researcher @JennieARiley1 has analysed these, and put together this incredible summary - Grave Goods Wrapped drive.google.com/file/d/1Kc_…

Academics - that paper you've joked about writing with a friend? Just write it. This has been a wild ride of pure joy.
PS @robsymmons proof it's not just your footnotes 🙃
The amazing @JennieARiley1 and I submitted our chapter on dirt & disgust in #saltburn, published with @Palgrave! Academia can be isolating at times, but I have *adored* this co-writing, and am resolved to do it more😃 Thanks to editors @jegleggott & @anam_horvat for your support!
