Description
Talking about death is never easy, but how we handle it says a lot about how we live. Chris Miller examines the rise of natural burials, from simple shrouds to human composting, and what these eco-friendly practices reveal about our relationship with death and nature. His work invites us to see endings as part of a wider cycle of life. Chris was our 2024-25 CDHI/JHI Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow.
