SOCI 215 - Death, Dying and Bereavement(3 credits)
Prerequisite: SOCI 102 or consent of instructor
The study of death deals with questions at the roots of human experience. Encounters with death are individual, yet socially constructed. Human reactions to death and the rituals surrounding it are influenced by various social factors including family, peers, gender, race and ethnicity and our own identity. This course will help students appreciate the diversity of death and bereavement practices and will offer students critical-thinking skills that will be useful as they encounter death-related issues. Topics will include end-of-life care, suicide, euthanasia, funeral practices, bereavement and loss and near death experiences. Offered alternate fall semesters. (Formerly SOCI 317)
