It's been an honour to work on this issue, and we hope it contributes to future research on both grief and human-technology interactions. We're already starting on our next projects in that domain, so watch this space!
The papers in our issue explore the impact of a wide range technologies - from AI chatbots to online memorials, video games, and beyond - on experieriences and practices of grief. It's especially pleasing to see so many different perspectives, discourses and disciplines in dialogue across the issue.
I argue that Merleau-Ponty is right, because how we are in the world - how we inhabit, produce, make sense of meaning - is characterised by dynamics that we can call synaesthetic. Synaesthesia sheds light on cognition more broadly in reminding us of the latter's rich complexity and idiosyncrasy.

I'm excited to share my last paper of 2025, which is out now in Human Studies. This one means a lot to me, as I draw on my own experience of synaesthesia in grappling with Merleau-Ponty's claim that 'synaesthetic perception is the rule'. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
