Forgive the reference to Star Wars but it seems appropriate.
I've just got off the phone with a research director at St. Joseph's Hospice in Hackney, where i'm hoping to accomplish some of my research over the remainder of the academic year. My research interest is in identifying cultural barriers to the utilization of palliative care services. So is their's, it turns out. They have a particular interest in Muslim communities. So do I.
They're redeveloping space in their building to be more useful and suitable for the various communities that they serve. I'm getting ready to write a paper about issues in understanding and reconfiguring dying spaces in the context of the hospice.
It sounds like a match made in heaven. I'm really excited about all this! Pieces are coming together...
Thought i'd share it with hyperspace.

sic! sounds like a good gig. i'm currently out at a city hospital in queens (the alleged most diverse square mile in the world). it has been very educational, not to mention difficult, working with all the different patients/ families. hurry up and write your paper already. we need much more light shed on the subject.
