Death Rituals and What They Teach us About Life with Claire White

It turns out that rituals are a big part of how we make meaning from our life experiences. And what human experience is more intense than losing a loved one? Claire White is a cognitive scientist who studies the psychological mechanisms that undergird human behavior, especially those we might label "religious." This is a fascinating conversation about the rituals we pursue when we lose a loved one, and the cross-cultural similarities/differences across cultures.

Here is a link to download Claire White's presentation deck (warning: contains images of dead bodies).
