I'm a graduate student in Medical Anthropology at UCSF/UC Berkeley, and my dissertation research looks at grieving online. My project specifically explores how accessing sites such as online memorials and Facebook profiles might allow people to feel connected to dead loved ones. If you have created an online memorial or a memorialization page, or if you frequently visit a particular website or sites to connect with a loved one who has passed, please consider participating in my research. To learn more about the project and about participating, please contact me at molly.hales@berkeley.edu or join this group.
