Join a GTU Class: Death in World Religions

Facing Mortality: Death, Meaning, and Care Across Traditions explores the world's major religion and cultural approaches to end-of-life. Death is a multi-faceted experience with various implications: physical, theological, ethical, legal, communal, familial, and personal. Students will examine caring for diverse communities, examine their own end-of-life beliefs and traditions, and articulate their understanding of how their views prepare them to care for diverse communities. Furthermore, students will study how death is understood and what rituals are practiced when dying, and during funerals, burial, and grief.
