People Living With Dementia and Their Families as Educators for Social Justice
BACKGROUND: It is increasingly recognised that dementia education and training should include the direct voices of Experts by Experience (people living with dementia and their families). Good practice in facilitating teaching roles for people living with dementia needs to be identified to maximise inclusion and promote social justice. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to discuss the co-creation of a suite of learning modules on dementia, whose predeterm…

In Their Own Words: Exploring the Methodology and Ethics of Ethnotheatre in Qualitative Dementia Research
This article discusses the development of two short plays based on qualitative data from separate research studies related to dementia, both of which were performed in the UK in 2022. The first drama ( Voices from the front line) is a relatively standard piece of verbatim theatre, based on interview data and written accounts from a research study about the experiences of the dementia workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-22. The second (…
Drawn from life: Cocreating narrative and graphic vignettes of lived experience with people affected by dementia
BACKGROUND: The growing literature on Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) and dementia identifies specific problems related to the influence that involvement has on research outcomes, over-reliance on family members as proxies and lack of representation of seldom-heard groups. Adaptations to the PPIE process are therefore needed to make possible the involvement of a broader spectrum of people living with dementia. OBJECTIVE: This…
The carnival is not over: Cultural resistance in dementia care
Within the still-dominant medical discourse on dementia, disorders of language feature prominently among diagnostic criteria. In this view, changes in ability to produce or understand coherent speech are considered to be an inevitable result of neuropathology. Alternative psychosocial accounts of communicative challenges in dementia exists, but to date, little emphasis has been placed on people with dementia as social actors who create meaning an…

Behind the Stiff Upper Lip: War Narratives of Older Men with Dementia
The concept of the stiff upper lip stands as a cultural metaphor for the repression and figurative ‘biting back’ of traumatic experience, particularly in military contexts. For men born in the first half of the twentieth century, maintaining a stiff upper lip involved the ability to exert high levels of cognitive control over the subjective, visceral, and emotional domains of experience. In the most common forms of dementia, which affect at least…
Dancing to the music of time: An experiential learning exercise in dementia care
This article presents findings from an experiential learning exercise in which 34 care practitioners enrolled on a part-time B.Sc. programme in Dementia Studies were asked to identify their own favourite music, and then to investigate the musical preferences of one of their clients with dementia. For both groups, practitioners and clients, three dominant themes influencing choice of music emerged: loving relationships; significant life events and…
Travels with a Flipcam: Bringing the community to people with dementia in a day care setting through visual technology
This paper discusses the exploratory process of making a short digital film with two women with early-onset dementia in a day care setting. The film was produced as part of a larger participatory video (PV) pilot project within the day centre. My main subject here is the adaptations to the standard PV process which I made in order for the two women, Pam and Carol*, to be able to take active part. These adjustments took account of their individual…
