Who should apply to be a member?
Faculty, staff, graduate, and undergraduate students are all invited to join this research workshop. Participants have come from the following disciplines: anthropology, art history, art theory and practice, bioethics, history, literature, medical humanities, medical education, philosophy, psychology, religion, and more.
Why apply to be a member?
Research and practices around death can create community; indeed, they typically require a community of people. This workshop will strengthen connections between departments, between the Evanston and Chicago campus, between death theory and praxis, between the Kaplan Humanities Institute and Feinberg’s Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities. It provides a way for the Northwestern and Chicago-area community to ask what it is to live with death, accessing interdisciplinary approaches that transcend typical degree boundaries. By attending the events of this workshop, participants will meet and get to know the research of fellow members of their community. These connections can often lead to research collaborations.
