End of Life Care and Nonreligion Workshop

End of Life Care and Nonreligion Workshop, March 13-14

Co-hosted by the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society, University of Victoria, and the Nonreligion in a Complex Future Project

End of life care has been shaped by Christianity and the perceived needs of Christians. But as societies become more nonreligious and more religiously diverse, how is end of life care changing? How does end of life care reflect religious social change, and what might (non)religiously diverse and inclusive end of life care look like? What are the legal issues surrounding end of life care and nonreligion? Are there realities of health care that should be taken into account when considering these issues? Is there information about nonreligion that would be helpful to end of life care providers? This workshop brings together scholars from different disciplines to consider these questions in an innovative format.
