Colloquium to explore ‘Death, Dying and Beyond’

The one-day colloquium “Death, Dying and Beyond: Understanding Ourselves at the End” will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Friday, April 22, at UNC Charlotte Center City.

A multidisciplinary panel of scholars from UNC Charlotte, Coastal Carolina University, the Levine Children’s Hospital and Hospice and Palliative Care of Cabarrus County will explore what it means to be mortal, and, perhaps, immortal, to look at death from the cellular to the social. This day-long program will examine death and dying from fields as diverse as biology, communication, cultural studies, psychology, religious studies and sociology.

This free event, which includes parking, continental breakfast and lunch, is open to the public; registration is required.
