The psychology of our own dramatic ending is truly fascinating, and together with Prof. Sheldon Solomon, we explore how our knowing that it will all end can give rise to fundamentalism and racism.

Our (lack of) handling of our own death can make us both better or worse human beings, which we also give a closer look when diving into Covid-19 and our behaviour towards sustainability.

Prof. Sheldon Solomon is a social psychologist at Skidmore College. His research focuses on our awareness of our own death, very cosy subject but an excellent conversation partner!
