Lived Experience, Identity, and Perspectives of LGBTQ+ Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregivers: A Qualitative Analysis from the Rise Registry
Although caregiving research has expanded over the years, LGBTQ + caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) remain understudied. LGBTQ + ADRD caregivers encounter unique obstacles (e.g., elevated stress, barriers to inclusive services, stigma and discrimination) that complicate caregiving experiences and have been understudied in research. To address these obstacles, researchers created the RISE Registry, a na…
Beyond the attention economy, towards an ecology of attending. A manifesto
We endorse policymakers’ efforts to address the negative consequences of the attention economy’s technology but add that these approaches are often limited in their criticism of the systemic context of human attention. Starting from Buddhist philosophy, we advocate a broader approach: an ‘ecology of attending’ that centers on conceptualizing, designing, and using attention (1) in an embedded way and (2) focused on the alleviating of suffering. Wi…
Informal caregiver quality of life: Psychosocial and behavioral correlates of quality of life among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual caregivers in the Women's Health Initiative
Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies: An Introduction
Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to nature. For example, social media challenges democracy; artificial intelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility to create artificial wombs may affect notions of motherhood and birth. Some have suggested that we address global warming by engineering the climate, but how does this impact our responsibility to future generations and…

Characteristics of LGBT caregivers of older adults: Results from the national Caregiving in the U.S. 2015 survey

LGBT caregivers were younger, more racially/ethnically diverse, and less frequently a spouse/partner compared with their heterosexual counterparts. LGBT caregivers more frequently reported helping with medical nursing task…
