Palliative Incubator Event
The Value of a Sociological Perspective on Palliative Care In conversation with Dr Diana Teggi and Professor Kate Woodthorpe University of Bath, Centre for Death and Society (CDAS)

Join us for a conversation between two sociologists from the Centre for Death and Society (Kate and Diana) about the benefits of adopting a social science perspective to study palliative and end of life care. Disciplines shape the questions researchers ask and, ultimately, the kinds of knowledge they produce. Sociology is uniquely positioned to interrogate issues of power and researcher involvement in the research process, and the normativities that both sustain.
