Narrative Inquiry, Negotiating Whiteness, Families, Illness and Social Policy, Long Term Care

As a critical gerontologist my interest is in cultural meta-narratives and archetypes of aging, old age, Alzheimer’s Disease and caregiving and how the language of dependency, loss and diminishment negates value, selfhood and embodiment—thus producing and reinforcing inequalities in access and care. I draw from literary interpretation and feminist sociology, focusing on plots, metaphors, and figurative language where policy and practice relevant issues arise.
