De vuelta del @ddd17-2025.bsky.social en Utrecht, comparto la primera parte de mis reflexiones sobre este #DDD17. Hemos compartido nuestra investigación y aprendido sobre deathbots, dignidad digital... La muerte también es algorítmica, mediática y política.

A view over the city of Utrecht from the top of the Domtoren, or Dom Tower. There is a stone wall in the foreground, and the city stretching out below.
@stgiles.bsky.social & I presented on our gravestone conservation work with community heritage groups in Nfld today! Thanks to everyone who joined us, it was great! Celebrated by climbing the Domtoren & drinks by the canals! #ddd17

"Compassionate, informative, witty and honest. This highly accessible book offers a fresh perspective on socio-political processes that shape practices related to the management of death in an overlooked socio-legal context."

Got all excited to see this IKEA coffin at #ddd17 conference. A snip at €80. I want one! My family and friends can decorate it. I find the DIY approach helpful
Then I discovered it was a hoax. Alas! Perhaps we should start a please-sell-affordable-coffins-on-the-high street movement?

Brilliant book. Stories about life, not death - because everyone who dies, even if they have no-one in their life (anymore) who can organise their funeral, has a story. Loved listening to Evie King at the #DDD17 conference book group yesterday. Her talk, like her book, made me laugh, cry - and think

Outdoor courtyard seating area with brick flooring, green plants along the wall, and a laptop on a round table under a large umbrella. The laptop screen shows a presentation slide. In the background, through large glass doors, people are sitting indoors at a table beneath a chandelier, and are watching the same presentation slides projected to a full room of people. A decorative wall fountain and potted shrubs add detail to the courtyard.
Having a great time at #DDD17 with @annawilde.bsky.social this week! Presented my paper on death games in the "Digital Death I" panel first thing, then the "Digital Death II" panel was so full myself and others watched along on my laptop from the garden behind the conference room! @ddd17.sites.uu.nl

Dr. Katie Clary, a white woman with bobbed brown hair, is reading a talk while standing in front of a large tv. She is wearing a brown top with polka dots, black plants, brown flats, and a yellow lanyard. The screen reads 'Decolonizing Death for Indigenous Communities'.
I'm standing in front of a large tv screen, reading a talk. I am a white woman with mini bangs and a wavy french bob. I'm wearing a black and white zigzag shirt and dark blue grid pattered pants. The tv shows a photo of sheep in a graveyard, and reads 'Community Archaeology and Burial Landscapes in New Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador'.
Here is @drmaryclary.bsky.social & me presenting our papers this afternoon! Thank you to everyone that came to the session! 🏺 #community #ddd17 @ddd17-2025.bsky.social
