- Society & Culture
As one of the world’s leading anatomists and forensic anthropologists, Professor Dame Sue Black has spent much of her working life dealing with death and its aftermath - in war zones, in the wake of natural disasters and in murder cases. I was curious to know how it’s possible to be immersed in that world – one which many of us don’t like to think about, much less make our life’s work – and be as well-balanced, cheery and positive as Sue clearly is.

You’ll have to listen to find out….
Books by Sue Black:
