Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad: IHP Death & Dying: Perspectives, Practices, & Policies

 

Explore how death is understood, celebrated, and politicized across cultures in New York City, Ghana, Mexico, and Indonesia. Examine how this “taboo” subject inspires art, social movements, and cultural identities while challenging American death illiteracy. Learn from deathcare workers, spiritual leaders, and grassroots organizers. Study cultural practices from Ghana’s celebrations of life to Mexico’s rituals and Indonesia’s traditional art to see how societies confront mortality and create meaning through death.
