Laurent AMIOTTE-SUCHET, sociologist, research fellow at HESAV.

Annick ANCHISI, a specialist in old age, and Laurent AMIOTTE-SUCHET, a specialist in religions, are conducting ethnographic research on monastic communities confronted with their aging. They are observing the daily lives of monks and nuns, and interviewing members of these communities as well as those around them. They bring a new perspective to these places where each and every one strives to hold his or her place in order to participate in collective life, right up until their death wishing to die in the monastery and be buried there.
