This webinar features European and North American contributors to Living with Dementia: Learning from Cultural Narratives of Aging Societies, a new open-access collection from the Bioethics for Aging Societies research program of The Hastings Center for Bioethics.

Participants will explore connections between ideas and values about dementia that are conveyed via cultural narratives – the common knowledge of a society or group — and the experiences of living with dementia or providing dementia care. They will consider how attention to a society’s shared stories, and to the voices and perspectives of people living with dementia, can be part of efforts to strengthen communities.

Participants will include Richard Ward and Andrew Clark of EnACT-DEM, a collaboration among researchers in the UK, Germany, and Canada to connect research and collaboration with people with dementia to community development, and Living with Dementia co-editors Kate de Medeiros and Nancy Berlinger, senior research scholar at The Hastings Center for Bioethics.
