RELI 3410 Dying Well in World Traditions
Various religious and philosophical perspectives relating to death, suffering, and the afterlife are explored using an interreligious approach. Through an interreligious lens, this course explores care of the dying person, exploration of systems surrounding death (such as hospice care and mortuary services), components of grief and loss, and the ethics of death (such as suicide or euthanasia). Students completing this course will encounter medical and social organizations focused around death, reflect on personal beliefs about death, experience local religious diversity, and apply explorations of religious diversity about death to their own vocational situation.
