Technology and Older Women
Health and wellbeing are inextricably linked to an individual's capacity for continued meaningful engagement and connection with the world around them. Technological innovations designed to maximize the quality of life for older women range from sophisticated bio-medical interventions to ordinary day-to-day communication devices. Many innovations can ensure a higher quality of life for older women and support and care as required. In this article…
Older Women in Australia
With the increase in longevity, the number of women living into old age is rising and higher than that of men. Data was derived from the Melbourne Longitudinal Studies on Healthy Ageing Program, which included 533 women and 467 men aged 65 years and older, in Australia, over 10 years. Logistic regression modeling was used to investigate the prevalence of dual sensory loss and the unmet needs for vision and hearing devices in older women (compared…
Social inclusion and the Fatosphere
Overweight and obesity are one of the most salient issues within society today, and the stigmatisation of overweight individuals is prevalent and widespread. Utilising interviews with 44 individuals who blog within an online fat acceptance community known as the Fatosphere, participants' perceptions of inclusion and exclusion were examined within their offline and online environments. Additionally, the effect this had on their offline lives was e…
The health and service needs of older veterans
BACKGROUND: With substantial numbers of older people within the Australian veteran population continuing to age well within the community, appropriate planning of community support and health services is important for this ageing population. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research study was to investigate the health and service usage of a group of older Australian war veterans who receive Australian Government support for their health-care needs …
Health is their heart, their legs, their back’
Older men from ethnic minority communities living in a regional town in Australia were identified by a government-funded peak advocacy body as failing to access local health and support services and, more broadly, being at risk of not ageing well. A qualitative study was undertaken to explore the health and wellbeing of ethnic minority men growing older in a rural community, and to identify the barriers they faced in accessing appropriate service…

The Impact of Intergenerational Volunteering and Learning
Intergenerational and Intercultural Encounters
Count Us In
This article reports the findings of a qualitative study that explores the linkages between female veterans' experiences in warlike, peacemaking, peacekeeping, and humanitarian operations and their perceived health support needs over the long term. It is based on the experiences of Australian female veterans who had deployed overseas. The findings suggest that a woman's emotional well-being over the long term and ability to fully reintegrate back…
Partner or perish? Exploring inter-organisational partnerships in the multicultural community aged care sector
Given an Australian national and state policy agenda that continues to promote collaborative work, many community organisations are attempting to engage in partnerships with mixed results. This paper reports on a qualitative study conducted to explore the experiences of existing partnerships between organisations and small community groups who deliver community based support services to older people from culturally diverse backgrounds. In particu…
A Rich Bounty of Culturally Diverse Views from Research, Practice, and Policy
This timely and comprehensive issue of Journal of Intergenerational Relations (JIR) once again reinforces the ideas, philosophy, and values that the founding editors of the journal have articulated
Exploring the Role of Family and Older People's Access to Food in Different Cultures
Increased longevity has contributed to the extensive change in family structure seen in the past 25 years around the world and in Australia. This article draws on the concepts of intergenerational exchange to further understand and explore older people's experiences of accessing nutritious food in a country where cultural diversity is a hallmark of the population. Forty-four people took part in six focus groups. These data have been thematically …
The Influence of the Built Environment and Other Factors on the Physical Activity of Older Women from Different Ethnic Communities
Inactivity has been identified as a major contributor to the burden of disease in older women. Study aims were: (a) to assess the personal, social, and environmental facilitators and impediments to physical activity in older women from ethnic communities; and (b) to determine the factors associated with physical activity participation. Older women (aged 60-84 years) were recruited from the local Italian (n = 20), Vietnamese (n = 26) and Anglo-Cel…
Reclaiming Sexual Difference
This article argues that both queer theory's erasure of bisexuality and the masculine bias within the field can be attributed to scholars’ overreliance on, and problematic extension of, the Foucauldian theory of sexuality that has come to dominate the field of sexuality studies. By ignoring the fundamental antagonism between sexuality and meaning and overlooking not gender but sexual difference (i.e., the internal, nonsymbolizable alterity within…
Factors influencing the physical activity levels of older people from culturally-diverse communities
Inactivity has been identified as a major contributor to the burden of disease among older Australians, particularly those in culturally-diverse communities. This study assessed the facilitators and barriers to physical activity in older people from culturally-diverse communities, and investigated the predictors of physical activity participation by recruiting 333 older people from seven different communities in the western suburbs of Melbourne, …
Challenges of recruitment and retention of older people from culturally diverse communities in research
The substantial and increasing number of older Australian people from culturally diverse backgrounds justifies the investigation and inclusion of their experiences in ageing research. Few empirical studies have addressed culturally diverse issues in the older population, however, in part because of the particular challenges in recruiting and retaining people from different cultural backgrounds. This article reflects on a research team's experienc…
School-Based Intergenerational Programs
This paper focuses on experiences learned from being involved in the development of a sustainable school-based intergenerational program that simultaneously incorporated lifespan education into a Grade 2-3-4 curriculum. The program operated in an Australian primary school. A model was developed through this initiative that involved a tripartite collaborative partnership between school, university educators, and the primary school community (in pa…

'Is Anybody Listening?' The Experiences of Widowhood for Older Australian Women Susan Feldman, MA
This paper discusses preliminary findings from participants in the baseline survey of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (Women's Health Australia: WHA) who reported their marital status as widowed. A total of 12,624 women, aged 70-75 years, completed a self-administered 260-item questionnaire, and 4335 of these women were widowed. Many of these women provided additional qualitative comments about their health, social and financi…
Second-Person Scepticism
In the last decade, some feminist epistemologists have suggested that the global scepticism which results from the Cartesian dream argument is the product of a self-consciously masculine modern era, whose philosophy gave pride of place to the individual cognizer, disconnected from the object of knowledge, from other knowers, indeed from his own body. Lorraine Code claims that under a conception of a cognizer as an essentially social being, Cartes…
