immortality

To mark a new Open University BA (Hons) qualification in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics (R45), Suzanne Newcombe and Carolyn Price have made an audio recording in which they discuss how researchers in Religious Studies and Philosophy investigate immortality and some of the ethical implications of the subject.

We are delighted to announce the publication of a special issue of History of Science in South Asia, edited by Dagmar Wujastyk, Suzanne Newcombe and Christèle Barois: Transmutations: Rejuvenation, Longevity, and Immortality Practices in South and Inner Asia.
