Death, Dying, and Beyond Unit
The Death, Dying, and Beyond Unit invites papers on the topic of “Death on Lockdown: Reflecting on Responses to Pandemic Mortality.” This call seeks analyses of pandemic-related mortality, encouraging submissions that retrospectively dissect the dimensions of death experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. We invite submissions examining reactions to death during COVID-19 lockdowns, exploring how COVID-19's impact intersected with death narratives, analyzing academic perspectives on pandemic death narratives, the marginalized and disabled communities' encounters with COVID-19 mortality, and the intersectional insights into pandemic death.
This Unit was formed to address all manner of scholarly discussion relating to death. While death is the single certainty in every life, a myriad number of ways exist to study and approach it. Our aim is to provide an outlet for the scholarly discussion of all issues relating to death, the dying, the grieving, the dead, and the afterlife. We are open to all methodologies, religious traditions, and topics of inquiry.
