Aoife is a doctoral researcher at the University of Bradford in archaeological and forensic sciences. Her research focuses on the display and acquisition of 18th-19th century anatomical specimens, and how they are viewed in museums today. She runs a blog called Pathological Bodies Project and an online magazine called Mortiferous Muse. She is also a trustee of the Victorian era Undercliffe Cemetery.
We chatted about the history of anatomical specimens, the different types that exist, their uses of the past and today, and also chatted about celebrity deaths (particularly Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, and celebrity ship Titanic). Enjoy!
