Current Activity
My ongoing research focuses on the cultural politics of disability and aging, especially through literature and film. As Associate Director of Partnership Grant “Imagining Age-Friendly ‘Communities within Communities’: International Promising Practices’ and Affiliate of “Re-Vision: Centre for Art and Social Justice,” I remain committed to the contributions of humanities scholarship can make to large scale interdisciplinary research that is responsive to the needs of an aging population.
