@Graveyard_arch @MortePhoto Good point!

[RHULdeathconference @RHULdeathconf]

@MortePhoto Hi! Thanks for your message - unfortunately we took the decision not to record the conference for a variety of practical reasons, but will certainly think about it again should we organise any more events in the future.

Huge thanks to @RHULdeathconf, the excellent hosts @RichardAsquith @dil_lice & other participants for a fabulous two-day programme of papers, lectures & discussion. So much to think about. (I might be unreasonably excited by the prospect of a second event!)
