Dying is not easy, but it needn't be this hard: Care versus choice in end-of-life narratives
Chloe Hansen, Clinical Asst. Prof. of English/Director of the Writing Center, will discuss the ideal of the good death in (pre-COVID) end-of-life narratives. Taking seriously the idea that public narratives can shape our expectations of medical situations, she argues that emphasizing care-rather than the emphasis on choice found in many contemporary discourses-may shift understandings of good versus bad dying, as well as our hopes and fears about living in the face of death.
