Death is often encountered in English courses-Hamlet's death,
celebrity death, death from the terrorist attacks on 9/11-but
students rarely have the opportunity to write about their own
experiences with death. In Death Education in the Writing
Classroom, Jeffrey Berman shows how college students can write
safely about dying, death, and bereavement. The book is based on an
undergraduate course on love and loss that Berman taught at the
University at Albany in 2008. Part 1, "Diaries," is organized
around Berman's diary entries written immediately after each class.
These entries provide a week-by-week glimpse of class discussions,
highlighting his students' writings and their developing bonds with
classmates and teacher. Part 2, "Breakthroughs," focuses on several
students' important educational and psychological discoveries in
their understanding of love and loss. The student writings touch on
many aspects of death education, including disenfranchised grief.
The book explores how students write about not only mourning and
loss but also depression, cutting, and abortion-topics that occupy
the ambiguous border of death-in-life. Death Education in the
Writing Classroom is the first book to demonstrate how love and
loss can be taught in a college writing class-and the first to
describe the week-by-week changes in students' cognitive and
affective responses to death. This interdisciplinary book will be
of interest to writing teachers, students, clinicians, and
bereavement counselors.
