    Description
    This course is a sociological approach to investigating death, dying, and bereavement processes in contemporary society. Students will compare the concept of death historically, socially, psychologically, and cross-culturally. Current legal, medical, and ethical issues related to death and dying, hospice, palliative care, end-of-life issues, violent deaths, and mass killings are also discussed.
