What sets us apart from other death-centered nonprofits?
Our research labs produce peer-reviewed studies that help to communicate and shape policy that impact people, related to topical areas in end-of-life, death, and bereavement. We are communication scholars that have a focus on praxis, intervention, navigation, and policy development.
While other groups center theory, and their research is valuable for providing vital human-centered considerations (many of which we reference in our own research), we are focused on world-building and moving toward ethical/humane policy interventions.
We accomplish our research objectives through a lab structure.
