The answer is complex and invites interdisciplinary reflection on the physical, psychological, social, cultural, ethical and spiritual dimensions of dying — the central focus of thanatology. This intensive two-week summer school at the University of Southern Denmark introduces students to key debates in modern thanatology, with particular attention to palliative care, end-of-life decision-making, euthanasia and assisted dying, as well as questions of spiritual and existential care within modern health systems. Through lectures, case-based seminars, reflective dialogue and interactive workshops, students examine ethical, legal, cultural and religious perspectives on end-of-life care, including how migration, minority experiences, social inequality and professional responsibilities shape understandings of a “good death”. Teaching is delivered by clinicians, psychologists, social scientists and chaplains from across Europe, combining empirical research with philosophical approaches. The course is aimed at advanced Bachelor’s and Master’s students in the health sciences, psychology, theology, religious studies and related fields who wish to strengthen their analytical skills and engage critically with complex end-of-life dilemmas in intercultural clinical and societal contexts.
