Description: Same as: 153:161, 160:161 (Learning about Living from the Dying)
The course integrates experiential learning at Iowa City Hospice with a historical overview of western discourse surrounding death and dying.

Students will take Iowa City Hospice’s volunteer training and do 25 hours of hospice volunteer service. They will read a selection of European and American writing concerning death and dying, focused on the hospice movement of the last half-century.
The class will meet two hours per week during which students will discuss the readings and their experiences doing hospice work.

Students will write frequent informal reflection pieces, and share them on ICON. The final project for the course will be a formal writing, in a genre (advocacy, research paper, ethnography, autoethnography, personal essay, literary analysis, rhetorical analysis) to be negotiated with the instructors. In the last weeks of the class, students will present their writing, seminar-style, to the class.
