Dr. Joshua Black is one of the presenters at our upcoming 2024 Conference on Death, Grief and Belief (online August 24, 2024). His reasearch on the dreams of the bereaved provides a foundation for helping grieving individuals use new tools for processing loss.
Dr. Black holds a MA and PhD in Psychology. He is a grief and bereavement researcher, speaker, educator, and host of the Grief Dreams podcast. His work focuses on dreams and continuing bonds after loss, including prenatal and pet loss. As one of the leading academic experts in grief dreams, which can be dreams of the deceased, Joshua has directed his efforts on raising awareness about this fascinating phenomenon through media interviews, including PBS Next Avenue, Los Angeles Times, CBC News, and Toronto Sun, in addition to speaking engagements and workshops.
Dr. Black currently works as the Bereavement Initiative Manager for the BC Centre for Palliative Care, where he is leading grief and bereavement research. He also teaches psychology courses at the University of the Fraser Valley. His long-term research goals are to continue to serve and raise awareness of those who are bereaved and those who are not being provided the necessary grief support.
