LACR 224 - SIFT: Love and Death

In this course, students explore basic information about patterns of human burials in historic cemeteries in our region, integrating historical, biological, cultural, epidemiological, demographic, and artistic studies into a multidisciplinary project.

The course culminates in an in-class presentation of research results and a written research report.
