To better inform our work please conduct the following independent research;
1. Find 2-3 articles from the NYT or other dominant discourse purveyors that discuss interesting aspects of the care of the dead. You could look for articles that relate to history, sociology, anthropology, and/or psychology, etc. Read and take notes on the articles and make a succinct precis for each. Also post an analytical paragraph or two that compares the perspectives the texts you worked with.
2. Interview someone in the death care industry - funeral home director, hearse driver, gravedigger, pre-need sales counselor, coffin-maker, etc. You will find some in your own neighborhood if you look around and you could also use the phone book or Google Maps to locate possible interview subjects. The interview should cover topics you find particularly interesting and important and you should record it using either video, audio, or writing. Please post a paragraph of highlights from the interview and a paragraph of analysis and further questions.
Due Monday, 9th of May at 9pm.
