Sociological perspectives on death in US

[Amy Hofer]

Hi all, apologies for cross-posting. 

An instructor is looking for open resources covering sociological perspectives on death in the US. Course description: "Introduces the student to the institution of death in the United States. From a sociological frame of reference, the student will study death as a system for dealing with the social processes of dying, death, and bereavement."

So far I have found:

Nursing Care at the End of Life - SUNY open textbook

Death: A Personal Understanding - Annenberg video series, not openly licensed but terms of use may cover the course

Any other ideas?

Thanks, 

Amy

Hi Amy,

 

Trinity University professor Michael Kearl has put together this website: Sociology of Death and Dying. I don’t see a CC license on the page, but I found it in MERLOT. It has links to a lot of different resources.

Hi Amy,

You might try Humanities Commons (hcommons.org). I searched death and dying in the initial page search (not so sophisticated a search... but I found a lot of articles and pages that might help in terms of using art in many forms to describe death/dying.)

It's not a sociological approach, but there seems to be some blending of psychology and social critique in some of the sources.
