Pan­el description: 
We were all born and we will all die, but process­es of birthing and dying show a huge vari­a­tion across cul­tures. Empir­i­cal stud­ies of begin­nings and ends of life in South­east Asia sug­gest that the way a person …
… to focus on either birthing or dying, or both. Ulti­mate­ly, with this pan­el we aim to pro­vide insight into the cul­tur­al dimen­sions and moral­i­ties of care and per­son­hood at these cru­cial moments in life.
