Alumni + Family

Lectures

The U.S. has lived through a half century of a neoliberal model of economic governance and economic inequality and now stands at a level not seen since the Roaring Twenties. Americans are more divided today than at any point in recent history along the lines of ideology, politics, and race. Just how serious is the legitimation crisis facing the elites and just how hostile are we to each other? What are the causes of these conflicts? Pierce County People’s Project is investigating these questions through a mixed-methods study of a random sample of county residents.

Exploring End of Life, Death, & Dying: An Interactive Discussion Led by Russell Campbell

Lectures
Campus

We invite you to join this facilitated, engaging and interactive discussion focusing on death as an idea, fear and anxiety around end of life and death and dying, the dying process, ceremonies and rituals in various cultures, death metaphors, hospice, and grief and loss. Together we'll explore these experiences, which touch all of our lives, as we become more comfortable discussing death in both private and professional settings. This discussion will be particularly helpful for healthcare providers, and those training to become healthcare providers.
