How did we loose death – and do we want it back?
In Sweden, even though we sing about death in our National hymn, we still do not have a language for talking about things around the Death. During this lecture, Philip de Croy will take us trough the history of how people have handled questions about death during times of war , pandemics etc.
Philip de Croy is author, PhD student in theology and the one and only thanatologist (death scientist) in Sweden. He is also part of the editorial team for the newspaper Sändaren.
