| Course Title: Special Topics in Anthropology: 'Approaching Death: Culture, Health, and Science' |
| Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2022 |
| Description: This class challenges assumptions about death and dying as we examine its meanings and related practices in various cultural contexts. We will ask: What is universal about death and dying, and what is socially constructed? What can the social sciences, bio medicine, literature, the arts, and our own qualitative research tell us about the processes of dying, of grieving, and of providing care? In essence, what does it take to approach death? |
