Session 4: Global to local: Let’s talk about death

In our culture death remains inevitable but taboo, so how can we be more open and prepared?
Philosopher Stephen Cave asks why we resist the inevitability of death through The 4 stories we tell ourselves about death; palliative care physician BJ Miller asks What really matters at the end of life and architect Alison Killing suggests There’s a better way to die, and architecture can help.
Talking about death can be challenging. Joy Kahumbu from the Compassionate Nieghbours project at St Jospeh’s Hospice (helping people through life and death since 1905) and undertaker Kate Brewer from Poppies Funerals will join the conversation.
