Dr Gould also works with the DeathTech Research Team (https://deathtech.research.unimelb.edu.au), studying body disposal practices and DIY deathcare rituals. Dr Gould is currently Senior Lecturer in Buddhist Studies, tasked with developing a new programme of religious studies at The University of Melbourne.
