CDALS Director Douglas is presenting a paper as part of this free online 'expert-meeting' organised by the editorial board of the journal Studies in Spirituality and hosted by the Titus Brandsma Instituut.

The confrontation with death can be interpreted as a source for spirituality. Many schools of Christian spirituality develop a specific ars moriendi to live with death, but also the process of dying and the experience of loss and mourning can open up perspectives of meaning. Although the relation between death and spirituality is acknowledged in many publications, there is not much research on the relevance of a spiritual view on death for theological, philosophical and anthropological reflection.

In this expert-meeting, organized by the editorial board of Studies in Spirituality, four scholars from different disciplines will present short papers about that relation from their own research, and open an interdisciplinary discussion with each other and with participants who are interested in the topic from an academic, professional or personal interest. In 2022 Studies in Spirituality will publish a number of articles on the topic, based on the papers.

Date and time: Thursday 2 December (13:00-17:00 GMT/14.00-18.00 CET)
