More from Dave and Kai:
We are seeking a PhD student to conduct surveys and behavioural experiments about green deathcare practices. This work is targeted at improving the uptake of sustainable and conservation-oriented deathcare practices including aquamation, conservation burial and legacy reserves, and exploring the possibilities for system change in these contexts. The successful candidate will join a vibrant team of scholars and practitioners seeking to “Let Death Beget Life”, with opportunities to interact with decision-makers, including municipal officials, NGOs, and First Nations, to help advance transformative change towards sustainability.
