Death & Dying
Course #: GERON 190, Class #: 3960, Section #: 01
Description
This course focuses on death and dying as social phenomena, which have implications not only for the dying person, but for surviving relatives and loved ones, as well as for social systems and structures that manage the dying process. Taking an analytic approach to death and dying, this course aims to help students link personal experiences of death and loss with broader social and structural issues concerning death, dying, and bereavement. This will include discussion of healthcare and life sustaining treatment, palliative care and hospice, as well as bereavement and rituals surrounding death and burial.
