Description

College is a time when we think only about the future and endless possibilities. Rarely do we consider our own mortality. In this episode, we take a deep dive into how death is present in our daily lives on Duke's campus, whether we like it or not.

Featuring:
Dr. Deborah Gold, professor of "Death and Dying" course (Sociology 264)
Dr. Jehanne Gheith, professor at Duke and licensed clinical social worker for Duke Hospice
Dr. Eric Peterson, cardiologist at Duke Hospital
Dr. Anthony Galanos, palliative care specialist
Lois Oliver, Duke Chapel historian
Valerie Gillispie, Duke's University archivist


One of the reasons we decided to produce this episode in September was the loss of two classmates, Michael and Bobby. Now with Alex's recent passing, we feel it is more relevant than ever to open a discussion on campus about death. Our thoughts are with the friends and families of Michael, Bobby, and Alex.
