Death, Dying and Disposal (DDD) is the Association for the Study of Death and Society (ASDS) Conference. It is held bi-annually in different locations internationally.

We’re thrilled to announce that the next hybrid International Death, Dying & Disposal Conference (DDD17) will be hosted at the University of Utrecht (Netherlands) and online from Wednesday 27 to Saturday 30 August 2025.

For the upcoming DDD17 conference, we invite sessions that explore the broad topic of the Politics of Death. In addition to (paper) presentations in panels, we particularly welcome panels that deal with the issues stated below creatively and multisensorially in workshops, or through roundtable discussions.
