Description

Making Sense Of: Dying and Death is an inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research project which seeks to engage in creative and innovative dialogues in focusing on the links between living and dying, and some of the contradictions and paradoxes which arise that we appear to accept without question. Areas of interest will focus on different kinds of dying and death, the experience of carers and care workers, the changing role of medicine, palliative care, the work of the hospice movement, the work of the funeral industry, and the nature of grief and mourning. Interest will also focus on philosophical, ethical, and legal issues which surround the processes of dying and death, the role of religion, and the diverse range of historical, social, and cultural perspectives and practices.
