Description of Research:

Chloe’s current research focuses on Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa and how it functions as a public history space and the way in which bodies – both dead and alive – interact with this space and how the space interacts with bodies. As part of this research, Chloe will examine the embodied experiences of visiting Beechwood, how bodies are remembered or forgotten, and to what extent are bodies made visible or invisible in the cemetery space.
