The compassionate communities movement challenges the notion that death and dying should be housed within clinical and institutional contexts, and works to normalize conversations about death and dying by promoting death literacy and dialogue in public spaces. Community-based practices and conversations about grief remain marginal in this agenda. We aimed to theorize how grief could be better conceptualized and operationalized within the compassionate communities movement. We develop the concept of Grief Literacy and present vignettes to illustrate a grief literate society. Grief literacy augments the concept of death literacy, thereby further enhancing the potential of the compassionate communities approach.

While the volume is explicitly multi-and transdisciplinary, it is certainly of interest and value to social work practitioners, educators, and scholars interested in trans analysis and troubling some of the categorical truisms evident in feminist social work practice and research. This collection presents trans as a site of transition and negotiation, a practice of engaging with transition and celebrating the flux of boundaries and expectations. From the extremely useful ''Note on Terms and Concepts'' through the 12 contributed chapters, the text demonstrates that terminology, identity, and theoretical positioning are constantly in transition and that trans analysis offers a perspective through which to complicate taken-for-granted expectations of gender, gendered performance, and gender identities.
