In episode 038 Elle chats with Archaeology Researcher Aoife Sutton. Aoife is a doctoral researcher in archaeology at the University of Bradford. Her work looks at themes surrounding 18-19th century anatomical fluid preserved specimens in Britain - including death, dying and ethics. Aoife runs a blog called Pathological Bodies Project where she writes about many death related topics, including history of medicine, archaeology and bereavement. She has worked on death related projects - including the Dying 2 Talk project and the Continuing Bonds project. Aoife is also a trustee of Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford and has observed work in modern death industry settings.   TW: Death/Dying Aoife Socials: https://pathologicalbodiesproject.home.blog/ https://twitter.com/pathbodies https://www.instagram.com/pathologicalbodiesproject/ Dying to Talk project https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoife-sutton-8249971b7/?originalSubdomain=uk https://continuingbonds.live/what-is-dying-to-talk/ The Feminine Macabre https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=237726661507630 Aoife features in Vol IIII due out Autumn 2022 Elle Kaye socials www.instagram.com/ellekayetaxidermy www.twitter.com/ellektaxidermy Podcast socials www.instagram.com/specimenspod www.twitter.com/ellektaxidermy www.patreon.com/specimenspod www.ellekayetaxidermy.co.uk/product-page/specimenspodmerch Artwork © 2021 Madison Erin Mayfield www.instagram.com/madisonerinmayfield https://twitter.com/MEMIllustration Music Giraffes - Harrison Amer via premiumbeat.com Researched, edited and produced by Elle Kaye Concept/Title © 2020 Elle Kaye
