This 2nd International Symposium on Roadside Memorials takes a broad theme of 'marking death in open places'. It is hoped that this will aid in taking a fresh look at this phenomena and expand perspectives on these memorials.
Toward a Typology of Roadside Memorials - interest has also been expressed by a number of scholars to work toward a typology of memorials. This would provide a sound basis for future scholarship by identifying contemporary and traditional forms of these memorials and enable innovations and change to be more easily identified.
