Navigating mortality: A multidisciplinary approach to the epistemology and practice of death education.

Abstract

The paper adopts a multidisciplinary approach to death education, incorporating ideas from anthropology, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines to develop a holistic approach. The paper offers a theoretical framework for comprehending mortality by looking at existential viewpoints, lived experiences, and the social construction of death. Experiential learning, reflective practice, and dialogue are some of the pedagogical techniques that are covered in order to provide a deeper comprehension of the cultural and ethical aspects of death. The paper also discusses sociocultural contexts, focusing on social injustices and cultural variations in death education. Strategies for a multidisciplinary approach's practical application are suggested. This approach equips teachers and students to deal with the complexity of dying and death in diverse contexts.
