Call for Papers
The Museum of Funeral Customs and the Illinois Funeral Directors Association will host "Death & Loss in America": Colonial Era to the Present" October 19 - 21, 2006, at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Springfield, Illinois. The symposium seeks to gather professionals and amateurs from all disciplines to examine the subject, share current research, discuss common interests, promote networking, and disseminate material.
Academic and amateur historians, funeral service professionals, museum curators, archivists, collectors, folklorists, cemeterians, thanatologists, psychologists, grief counselors, hospice care-givers, sociologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, physicians, as well as undergraduate and graduate students from these disciplines are invited to submit presentation proposals. Papers may be of any length; however, presentation will be limited to twenty minutes. Recognizing that the subject lends itself to many forms of presentation beyond the traditional oral delivery, audio visual works are also invited. Session commentators, who are specialists in their respective fields, will then compare the papers and presentations, offer feedback, and suggest further research. Time will also be available for questions and discussion by the audience.

I'm seriously considering submitting a proposal to discuss funereal masks and their relation to early headstone arts in America. No part of my paper is ABOUT funereal masks, but hell, it's not like I don't know where to look.
Speaking of such things, I was amused enough by this to want to share it -- Famous People Who Died Onstage.
