The Bristol Centre for Grief Research and Engagement

The Good Grief Festival team are delighted to launch the Bristol Centre for Grief Research and Engagement at the University of Bristol.

The Grief Centre will focus on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research into grief, death and loss, aiming to increase understanding of these fundamental aspects of being human and provide space for new thinking, ideas and approaches. It unites research, scholarship, policy and civic engagement  at the University, including our ground-breaking work at Good Grief Festival. Find out more at: www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2025/april/new-grief-centre.html 

The Centre, funded by Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board, will be co-directed by Lucy Selman, Professor of Palliative and End of Life Care at the Palliative and End of Life Care Research Group and Centre for Academic Primary Care, and Dr Lesel Dawson, Associate Professor in Literature and Culture in the Department of English.

Please visit the Centre website and follow us on social media:

If you can, we’d also love you to join us for our first co-produced event with the Grief Centre. We are very excited to welcome the brilliant Dr Kathryn Mannix to the University of Bristol as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week. Tickets are available here.

Thank you to all our Good Grief Festival supporters — watch out for more exciting collaborations and projects coming soon!
