Scholars in the Square: Lori Beaman and Douglas Ezzy, “How Nonreligion Changes End of Life Care”

Scholars in the Square (Centre for Studies in Religion and Society, University of Victoria)

Lori Beaman and Douglas Ezzy, “How Nonreligion Changes End of Life Care”

Religion can no longer be assumed to be the only meaningful framework for understanding the end of life. In this talk we draw from the Nonreligion in a Complex Future Project’s research to map changes in death and dying related to obituaries, understandings of the afterlife, and approaches to palliative care. We understand these changes to be linked to the increased number of people who identify as nonreligious.
