Alisa Grigorovich , AGE-WELL

Older lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer-identified (LGBTQ) adults, like the general older adult population, would prefer to age in place in their community for as long as possible. However, while there is growing attention to later life sexualities in empirical literature and health professional education, gaps remain in knowledge regarding older LGBTQ adults living with chronic illness/disabilities in Canada. Drawing on recent research with this population, Alisa Grigorovich will explore their care experiences and needs and identify the importance of fostering home care providers’ competency in providing affirming and respectful care. She will argue for the need to engage in arts-based and visual methods for education and knowledge translation in this regard, and present an example of the development of such an initiative, called ‘Out at Home.’

Global ageing is one of the most significant societal challenges that we face in the current times. As countries around the world move towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, there is much evidence that emerges on the range of inequalities that reduce the wellbeing of older adults. In the last two decades we have amassed evidence on older adults’ living arrangements, health status and intergenerational relationships. In this conference we encourage researchers to push the boundaries of ageing research by exploring new conceptualizations of ageing research with innovative theories, datasets, analysis techniques and ways of sharing scientific knowledge. Through the interrelated sub-themes of work, care and mobility we hope to stimulate active discussions on new pathways to ageing research.
