Grief at the Margins: Conceptualising the diversity of loss

Grief is a fundamental human experience, yet varies significantly between individuals and cultures. Philosophical research has focused on the universality of grief, neglecting its diversity. Addressing this gap, this project aims to characterise the diversity and variability of grief experiences. It will generate new knowledge about marginalised groups who, due to intersecting forms of discrimination and disadvantage, are at particular risk of prolonged and complicated forms of grief. This project will lead to socio-cultural and economic benefits by offering theoretical foundations for future applied research on more inclusive and sensitive grief interventions addressing the unique needs of marginalised members of Australian society.
