About me
- Investigator at the Stockholm Gerontology Research Centre, former Marie Curie
Fellow, recent PhD, occupational therapist, singer, committed to improving
participation and inclusion in everyday life.
Hello, I am delighted to be affiliated to the CACTUS research group for
teaching and research following recent defence of my PhD funded predominantly
through a Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowship with the Interdisciplinary
Network for Dementia Using Current Technology (INDUCT).
As technology changes and becomes ever more prevalent in society, my doctoral
thesis investigated how technology acts as both a barrier and facilitator in
the daily lives of older adults living with and without dementia in Sweden,
the U.K. and the U.S. I have a particular interest in ensuring stakeholder
involvement and co-creation across the whole research process (often
referred to as Patient Public Involvement, or PPI), and in the rural context
for participation. Please do check out this five-minute video summary of my
thesis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhRRg2ugO8
My current Vinnova-funded position with the Stockholm Gerontology Research
Center delivers practice-focussed research and organisational development
with an emphasis on the consequences of digitalisation to participation in
society.
I teach on a casual basis within the undergraduate occupational therapy
programme and I use my strong arts background in my approach to building
engagement when I deliver seminars, lectures and workshops.
