What wouldn't you be seen dead without? Grave goods aren’t just for the Ancient Egyptians. Putting significant objects and items in people’s coffins or graves when they die is hugely important for many people in contemporary Britain: almost all of us will need to make a decision about them at some point in our lives. Jennifer’s talk draws on her research into contemporary grave goods, and why we need and want them.Sometimes the objects we choose to send away with loved ones are beautiful; sometimes they’re sentimental; sometimes they’re funny; and sometimes they’re just bonkers. But they all have stories to tell about the identity of the person who’s passed away – as well as the people they’ve left behind. Dr Jennifer Riley, is an academic in the Divinity department at the University of Aberdeen.Jennifer is currently working on a Leverhulme Trust fellowship project exploring contemporary British ‘grave goods’– part of her broader research interests in death, dying, ritual and religion.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

There is no question that Grief has power over the lives of people dealing with the loss of a loved one. Yet the traditional way of coping with Grief appears to be shifting from a traditional step model, to a view that Grief may be analogous to a learning process. In this TEDxOldHickory talk, market researcher and data scientist Rob Farmer discusses his personal journey of recovery after the death of a loved one at a young age, and how that contributed to his leadership development over a period of many years. He explains how Grief has the possibility of sharpening skills such as learning, empathy and vision development, and how he incorporates those principles to coach colleagues through their own grief in the modern workplace.Rob Farmer has been working globally in market research roles for 20+ years with a passion for using data-driven market insights to improve large companies’ customer focus, generate revenue and accelerate go to market decision making. Increasingly, this has meant reaching far beyond traditional market research to include data science of all kinds including AI, social media, biometrics and geolocation sensors. Rob’s latest mission is to fuse all of these disparate data sources to improve the most challenging aspects of our personal and professional lives. Rob spent 15 years living abroad in Shanghai, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo in executive roles at Nissan and General Motors. His latest assignment is in Tennessee, where he resides in the Nashville suburbs with his data scrum leader wife, with whom he parents both an LGBTQ budding neuropsychologist and an equestrian-loving adopted child. When not gigging on data and humans, The Farmers can be found travelling the globe.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
