*Researching End of Life Care from a Social Science Perspective: Past,
Present and Future Contributions*
29-30 November 2017 at Open University (Milton Keynes, UK)
Abstract deadline 31 July 2017
Sociological and anthropological perspectives to date have provided
critical theoretical insights into end of life care practices. However,
beyond select seminal pieces and concepts, these contributions to
understanding and changing practice and policy are not always recognised as
emerging from social science perspectives and there is little contemporary
discussion of the utility of this approach for addressing end of life care
problems.
By bringing together social scientists researching end of life care, this
workshop aims at strengthening the position and visibility of social
sciences in the medically dominated field of end of life care research and
policy. To do so, we invite participants to map out methodological and
theoretical developments highlighting the actual and potential of social
science contributions to end of life care research.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
• Social theory in end of life care: past and current
approaches
• Methodological issues with researching end of life care
• Future directions for sociologically and anthropologically
informed end of life care research
• Experience of engaging with end of life care policy and
community developments
• Bringing theoretical insights from empirical work back
into the social sciences
The workshop will also feature presentations by Prof Jane Seymour
(University of Sheffield) and Prof Allan Kellehear (University of Bradford)
about their work in this field. They will also provide supportive advice
for workshop participants.
The workshop is funded by the Foundation for the Sociology of Health &
Illness and the Association for the Study of Death and Society (ASDS).
There will be no registration fee for attendance and we have travel
bursaries to support PhD students and early-career researchers to attend.
Please send your abstract (250 words) and full contact details to Erica
