What's the episode about?
In this episode, hear Angeline Morrison at the 2023 Falmouth University Haunted Landscapes conference on voicing Black British ancestors through music, folk music and death, W. E. B. Du Bois and sorrow songs, unregistered lives, the stories of Frances Elizabeth Johnson and Caesar, a formerly enslaved African buried in Hartlepool, as well as pet loss. Plus, highlights from the Haunted Landscapes conference.
Who is Angeline?
Angeline Morrison is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who explores traditional song with a deep love, respect and curiosity. Angeline mostly makes music in the genres of wyrd folk and psych folk, her work infused with elements of soul music, literature, â60s beat pop sounds, folklore, myth and the supernatural.
With a feral approach, a handmade sonic aesthetic and a belief in the importance of tenderness, Angelineâs original compositions and re-stitchings of traditional songs focus on storytelling and the small things that often go unnoticed. Sounds like solitude, memory, nostalgia, a rainy walk amongst trees...
In July 2022, Angeline was announced as the fourth winner of the prestigious Christian Raphael Prize at Cambridge Folk Festival, which generously supports the development of emerging talent in the folk genre. In December 2022 The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience was voted No 1 Folk album of the year in The Guardian.
Her album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience (released October 2022, Topic Records) is a work of re-storying. The historic Black presence in the UK dates back to at least Roman times, yet is often hidden,forgotten or unacknowledged. The populations of enslaved African people and their descendants in the USA have their bodies of folk song, which are vitally important for containing histories, expressing feelings, giving voice and claiming presence⊠but the Black ancestors of the UK have no equivalent body of song. The Sorrow Songs begins to address this. It is a gift to the forgotten Black ancestors of these islands, and to the folk community heretoday. The album uses history and imagination to tell stories of UK Black ancestors in the sonic style of UK traditional and folk music.What is the Haunted Landscapes conference?

Having studied Comparative Religions and Asian Studies before pursuing his PhD in Anthropology, Jason's research began as an exploration of the ritual lives of older people in urban Japan.
This research tells the story of Japan's aging society through detailed portraits of older men and women as they actively anticipate their own deaths while caring for and memorializing their ancestors.
This research led to his first book, Aging and Loss: Mourning and Maturity in Contemporary Japan (2014 Rutgers University Press). This work led to research on unpaid caregivers of older family members, who experience similar feelings of grief and loss, often leading to a deeper appreciation for end of life care.
His most recent book, released in October 2022, is titled Fragile Resonance: Caring for Older Family Members in Japan and England (Cornell University Press). His current research looks again at experiences at loss from the perspective of formerly incarcerated older people.
