Perspectives on Death Education and the Pedagogy of Death explores the essential role of an education that includes death in promoting a more conscious and meaningful life, fostering inner evolution and social development.


In addition to offering rich cultural perspectives from Spain, Scotland, Italy, Turkey, and Cyprus, this comprehensive volume systematizes and updates knowledge in the fields of death education and the pedagogy of death in highlighting the importance of integrating these topics into education and curricula. Chapters discuss theory and new concepts developed by the pedagogy of death. Specific death-related aspects of the curriculum and classroom practice are discussed before finally delving into the most salient studies in the field.

This work serves as a reference text for future research on death education and the pedagogy of death, providing an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and students. It offers new perspectives and identifies areas for future research and educational action.
