This course is an elective
Investigate how people have memorialized their dead throughout time and around the world through the creation of ceremonies and rituals, and through the use of cemeteries, monuments, grave goods, and the treatment of the bodies of the deceased. Understand how these practices reflect the deep ways humans experience and understand grief and the complex relationships between the living and the dead, and serve to reinforce social order in the living world. Approach death and the dead through a broad cross-cultural lens, exploring ideas of human-animal relationships, kinship and ethnicity, and concepts of the afterlife and the underworld.
