There is a large ethnographic literature on Hindu-Balinese mortuary and post mortuary rites.  \;However\, no studies have been published on the human experiences of dying that lead up to these rites.  \;To what extent do these practices and their underlying beliefs serve to affirm or deny death for people facing the end of life? All faculty are welcome. \; Lunch will be provided.
