Everybody dies, but not everybody dies well. Why not? And what does it mean to die well? To address these questions, the instructors, a social worker and a philosopher, will explore what it means to die well from philosophical and practical perspectives, with special attention to the dynamics that shape end of life experiences in the US. Students will engage materials examining end of life experiences in the US through social, cultural, spiritual, medical, and policy lenses, including academic scholarship, literature, and materials from popular culture. In addition, students will have the opportunity to discuss these issues with professionals from various disciplines who work in the field of death and dying. This course aims to challenge and equip students to develop a concrete, realistic, just, and thoughtful perspective on end of life. It will be taught as a Writing-to-Learn course and will interest students in many areas of study, including Social Work, Philosophy, Pre-Health, Science, Medicine and Society, Family Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Pre-Law, Theology, Public Health, Economics, Business, Communications and Journalism, and Women Studies.
