Exploring Near Death

This project will investigate "Near Death" through personal research and then convene a conference of experts from both a scientific and humanistic perspective to understand and articulate the many varied points of view in the near death experience. The goals of this project are two-fold: First, write a book proposal to interest publishers to commission it. Second, write and submit a proposal to a funding agency, such as the National Science Foundation, for a more expansive conference on “Near Death,” involving experts from various fields, cultures and points of view from throughout the world.

This project was sponsered by the Institute for Humanities Research.
