Hastings Center Report, 2008
Death in the newborn intensive care unit, as elsewhere, is often marked by rituals. Some, like the cadence of a code or helping parents with their grief, are included in both the formal and informal education of physicians.

Abstract Popular religious discourse in America both valorizes meditation as good and ritual as bad, and dichotomizes the two as distinct and separate.

Ritual Individuation and Ritual Change
Method & Theory in the Study of Religion, 2009AbstractWhat makes a ritual performance an instance of one ritual and not another?
