Event Details

In his latest book, The Work of the Dead, Berkeley historian Thomas Laqueur chronicles the history of humanity’s treatment of the dead. As CLAS celebrates the Day of the Dead, Professor Laqueur will discuss why we care for dead bodies and why ghosts are such a persistent part of human cultures.
