At 1:00 pm, Juanita Leisch Jensen will discuss rules versus reality in mourning practices, illustrating her talk with a display of original artifacts and an illustrated powerpoint presentation. Come early to review the display as the audience will be invited to identify the artifacts that are ‘definitely’, ‘possibly’  or ‘decidedly not’ associated with mourning.
