The Seminar not only provides an environment for scholarly presentation and discussion by members, guests, and invited speakers, but also generates lasting works of scholarship made available to the wider community. In addition to the research and publications of its members individually, the work of the Seminar in its own right includes a volume of essays by Seminar members, on the theme of changing perceptions of death in the contemporary period, a published volume of selected presentations from the first of the Seminar's biennial conferences, and a second similar volume in progress from the second conference. Further publications are planned in future. See references below.
