Craig Young – Treasurer
Hon. Treasurer Craig Young is Emeritus Professor of Human Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University.
His research interests broadly cover the politics of memory, heritage, and death. He previously worked on these topics mainly in the context of Eastern (as was) and post-communist Europe, notably Romania. Research examined how the politics of identity was and is intertwined with how the dead feature in the politics of place, whether through commemoration, statues, place/street-naming, or the use of the dead body as a political subject.
He previously lead the ESRC-funded network “Encountering Corpses”. A team from Manchester Metropolitan University hosted the 2021 DDD15 on behalf of ASDS.
