_______________________________________________

On 24 April Dr Mikołaj Sławkowski-Rode will deliver a talk entitled "The Meaning of Mourning" for a special instalment of the HPP/IRC seminar in collaboration with Pusey House's Centre for Theology, Law, and Culture.

Grief is a universal human response to death and loss. Mourning is an equally universally observable practice that enables the bereaved to express their grief and come to terms with the reality of loss. Yet, despite their prevalence, there has traditionally been no unified understanding of the nature and meaning of grief and mourning. In this seminar, Mikołaj Sławkowski-Rode addresses this issue, drawing from the wide range of perspectives of his acclaimed new edited volume on this topic.

MIKOŁAJ SŁAWKOWSKI-RODE is a Junior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall, and Tutor in Philosophy. He is also Assistant Professor, Institute of Philosophy, University of Warsaw, and Visiting Lecturer, University of Buckingham. He is a founding member and organiser of the Humane Philosophy Project; a Fellow of the Dalai Lama Centre for Compassion, Oxford; and, he has, since February 2018, been working on the John Templeton Foundation project Science, Theology and Humane Philosophy: Central and Eastern European Perspectives.
