"Since death and grief are not ‘just health or care’ issues, it’s paramount that institutionally we’ve been able to recognise the value of studying them through different disciplinary and lived experiences and creating a space for these perspectives to come together." - @ericaborgstrom.bsky.social

"By becoming a centre, we’re able to more adequately recognise and develop colleagues’ contributions regardless of their school affiliation or staff role, and foster the inclusive culture within Open Thanatology." - @ericaborgstrom.bsky.social
