The Value of a Sociological Perspective on Palliative Care

The Value of a Sociological Perspective on Palliative Care

Join us online for a conversation between two sociologists from the University of Bath, 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 normativity's that both sustain.
