Bio
I'm a Social Scientist. My interest and research in the end-of-life has its origin in the lived experiences of my own life, which includes my bereavement, the returning deceased and the communal and attitudinal response to those experiences.
My prevailing philosophy is that the subjective experiences and understandings of the meaning of death, and the dead, evidence a changing and shifting theoretical and intellectual discourse which is revisioning how individuals conceptualise what they are as human beings, why they exist as spiritual beings in a physical body and why the dead, by their cross-cultural presence, offer humanity an invitation to live more consciously.
I have extensive involvement in community development, support and advocacy in both a professional and voluntary capacity. Since 2006 that involvement has encompassed the for-profit and the not-for-profit sector in the areas of Bereavement and Grief, Hospital Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care, and Academic Lecturing/Tutoring.
I have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the needs of the bereaved, of the unifying elements of interfaith and intercultural spirituality and of the intersubjective relationship between the material and the spiritual universe.
