Death: Cultural and Social Studies

This mini-collection looks at death and dying from a variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences focusing on the ways the living manage dying and the dead. It is less concerned with eschatological topics or topics specific to counselling or healthcare chaplaincy.
