Making Ageing-in-Place Work
Over recent decades, there have been substantial global shifts in policy and public preferences towards ageing-in-place. This change, while desirable for many older people, also comes with costs, trade-offs and work, placing the onus on individuals, their families and communities to 'make ageing-in-place work' through care, maintenance, and social connection. To understand individuals' agency and capacity in this context, this article examines th…
This is where I can be myself’: Places that enable flourishing in older age
Access to neighbourhood places is considered an important part of enabling older adults to age in place. However, understanding of the enabling features of places and how they generate the conditions necessary for the experience of wellbeing and flourishing amongst older people remains limited. Drawing on the concept of 'enabling places' (Duff, 2011, 2012) this paper examines how older adults negotiate physical, social and affective place resourc…
‘Being there’ is what matters: Methodological and ethical challenges when undertaking research on the outdoor environment with older people during and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic
This paper reflects on adapting research methods and processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on our experiences of conducting research on the outdoor environment with older people (aged 50+) living in Scotland. First, we discuss the challenges to the organisation of research experienced in the context of changing government and university guidelines and managing delays to planned research timelines. The shift toward remote methods stimula…
Recovering the body in grief: Physical absence and embodied presence
This paper addresses the complex issue of the embodiment of grief. It explores how a theoretical shift to the body has influenced scholarly literature about grief and bereavement. Despite this shift, we argue that bodily interpretations and experiences are undertheorised in western psychological literature on bereavement. Specifically, we argue that linear stage models of grief have encouraged the view that grief needs ‘working through’ in the mi…

Negotiating recovery in bereavement care practice in England: A qualitative study
This paper explores how ‘recovery’ from grief is negotiated in bereavement care practice in England. What constitutes recovery from grief remains contested in bereavement research and practice. In this paper, I outline some of the debates in the literature concerning what constitutes recovery following bereavement before presenting interview data from bereavement counsellors and support workers to discover how practitioners negotiate recovery fol…
Remembering the ‘unwanted’ victims: Initiatives to memorialize the National Socialist euthanasia program in Germany
Between 1939 and 1945, approximately 200,000 patients were murdered under the National Socialist euthanasia program in Germany and Austria. For many years, these victims were largely excluded from post-war commemorative culture and they are yet to attain legal equality with the victims of political or racial persecution. This article considers recent initiatives to commemorate the victims of euthanasia, focusing on three examples: 1) the national…

Girl, interrupted: An exploration into the experience of grief following the death of a mother in young women's narratives
This paper explores six young women's experience of grief following the death of their mother. Employing a narrative approach, the focus is placed on exploring the meanings the six participants may make from the experience of the death of their mother and how these meanings are incorporated into their sense of self. The paper highlights how the women's narratives which emerge through the process of making meaning of death can be more complex, amb…
Visualising ‘Everyday’ Evil: The Representation of Nazi Perpetrators in German Memorial Sites
Exhibitions on National Socialist crimes usually present events from the perspective of the victims. However, a focus on perpetrators can have value in explaining the stages leading up to persecution and murder. This essay explores the challenges involved in representing Nazi perpetrators in German memorial sites, focusing on two examples from Berlin: the House of the Wannsee Conference and the Topography of Terror. Both sites address the bureauc…

World Interrupted: An Autoethnographic Exploration into the Rupture of Self and Family Narratives Following the Onset of Chronic Illness and the Death of a Mother
