Disaster & Change Part 6 — Mass Graves and Unmarked Coffins: Scholarship at a time of ’Peak Death’, with Professor Mike Arnold

The final episode of our 'Disaster & Change' series tackles a topic that has pervaded every other discussion: death. Dr. Henry Reese speaks with Mike Arnold, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science in SHAPS, the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne. Prof. Arnold is part of the DeathTech research group, and their conversation touches on the history, present and future of the death industry.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which our University operates – lands of the Kulin peoples, which includes the Wurundjeri, Boonwurrung, Wathaurong, Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung peoples, as well as the Yorta Yorta nation. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present and emerging, and acknowledge that sovereignty to these lands was never ceded.
