No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1980–81 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The course deals with the current literature on death and dying. Patterns of mortality as affecting different social groups and as reflecting differential life chances of individuals in society are described. North American issues of death and dying are considered against an historical background.
As printed in the 1980–81 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
