Inquiring Minds - Tracey McIntosh

Tracey McIntosh, Senior Lecturer in Sociology
The daughter of a Maori mother and Pakeha family, Tracey was aware from an early age that different cultures responded differently to death and dying. Today, she is a leading researcher into the sociology of death, criminology and incarceration. Although she admits her areas of study "tend to the dark side" Tracey believes the interrogation of death provides the chance to examine and celebrate life.
