Contemplative Training for Mindful Aging
Contemplative practices offer a promising lens for thinking about how people navigate change, vulnerability, and the emotional texture of later life. This article examines how such practices extend ideas of healthy aging, drawing on interviews and focus groups ( n = 24) from an 8-week mind–body course. Participants reported strong satisfaction with the course, noting improvements in physical and mental health, and a notable shift towards greater …
Race, religion, and inclusive healthcare
Attitudes toward healthcare are often shaped by religious and spiritual beliefs, including among older adults from racial and ethnic minority communities. Many rely on faith to navigate aging, influencing how they interpret health, illness, and interactions with medicine. Guided by an intersectional framework, this qualitative study explores how race, religion, spirituality, age, and healthcare experiences intersect among older adults from racial…
“I had no hug”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults faced heightened vulnerability, particularly when navigating grief under conditions of disruption and isolation. This study examines the lived experiences of twelve community-dwelling older women in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, who lost a family member between March and December 2020. Through semi-structured interviews, the research explores participants' social constructions of grief and bereave…
But where's the body? Bodies, time, money, and the political economy of post-pandemic field research
Since the pandemic, field work has been transformed by shifts in the political economy affecting the material conditions underpinning research. In this research note, a research team considers their challenges and learning in completing field studies conducted in 2022, including intensified strains on time, money, researchers' bodies, and risks associated with illness and infection spread. We argue that a neoliberal 'research super-hero' norm ope…
Social imaginaries and the application of feminist care perspectives to nursing home reform
Facilitated reflection meetings as a relational approach to problem-solving within long-term care facilities
Care workers have valuable knowledge to contribute to the improvement of their work environments. Yet incorporating their perspectives into organizational decision-making within long-term care facilities (LTCFs) has been an ongoing challenge. In this article we investigate a promising practice that brought workers and management together in weekly and bimonthly facilitated reflection meetings to identify and resolve problems. Drawing on observati…
Careworkers don't have a voice
Centring Care
Residential care is a highly regulated sector. Regulations are often a product of scandal, and they reflect an understandable desire to safeguard nursing homes' vulnerable populations. However, research on Ontario nursing homes reveals significant tensions between regulations and care. Regulations, and the reporting they require, take valuable time away from care, often fail to account for the relational aspects of care, and disempower residents …
It is a scandal
Purpose – This study aims to explore the causes and consequences of media scandals involving nursing homes for older persons in Canada, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the USA. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses a descriptive case-study methodology which provides an in-depth, focused, qualitative analysis of one selected nursing home scandal in each jurisdiction. Scandals were selected on the basis of being substantive enough to potentially…
Structural violence in long-term, residential care for older people
Disciplining death
Medicine powerfully mediates the relationship between life and death. This article argues that in the name of health, modern medicine constitutes a pathological mortal subjectivity, encouraging individuals to experience death as disease, to understand mortality as morbidity, and to approach living instrumentally as a means to longevity. This article uses the example of hypertension management to illustrate how this vision of death is transformed …
