Centre for Death & Society

The Centre for Death & Society (CDAS) was established in September 2005 and is based in the Department of Social & Policy Sciences at the University of Bath.

Our internationally recognised research on social aspects of death, dying and bereavement focuses on:

  • the experiences of people facing death and bereavement
  • practice and policy concerning the dying, the dead, and the bereaved
  • how end-of-life practices require yet can also foster community development
  • relationships between the living and the dead
  • how all this is influenced by economics, politics, inequality, social networks, technology and culture.
