We are happy to announce the visit of Dr. Tara Mehrabi from Karlstad University who will be talking about and discussing with us her work on “Queer Ecologies of Death in the Lab: Rethinking Waste, Decomposition and Death Through a Queerfeminist Lens”.
Since the kitchen area is very popular these days, we will be meeting in room 3G.202 (on the other end of the corridor) – as usually at 6 pm.
Tara is a senior lecturer at the Centre for Gender Studies at Karlstad University, Sweden. She is a founding member of the Queer Death Studies Network and a member of The Posthumanities Hub based at Linköping University. She is the author of the monograph Making Death Matter: A Feminist Technoscience Study of Alzheimer’s Sciences in the Laboratory (2016). Together with Marietta Radomska and Nina Lykke, she co-edited the special issue of the journal Women, Gender & Research “Queer Death Studies: Coming to Terms with Death with Death, Dying and Mourning Differently” (2019).
A short abstract on her talk can be found here.
