In this episode of The Everyday Scholar, Dr. Bjorn Mercer talks with Dr. Kasia Polanska about her experience working with dying patients as a hospice volunteer. This work inspired Dr. Polanksa to investigate the sociology of death and dying, which eventually led to her to develop a class on the topic. Learn how her research and examination of death and dying can inspire clarity and meaning in life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
