Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia provides an evidence-based and readable account of improving life at home for people with a dementia and their families. There are estimated to be 47 million people with a dementia worldwide the majority of whom will live or want to live in their own home. Yet there is a major shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people with a dementia living at home. Most research focuses on care in hospitals or care homes and takes a medical perspective. This book bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people with a dementia to live well at home from the viewpoint of those living with the condition and in the context of global policy drivers on ageing and health as well as technological advances. The book includes chapters on citizenships – that is the diversity of people living with a dementia – enabling life at home rethinking self-management the ethics and care of people with a dementia at home technological care and citizenship and sharing responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto in which we set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a dementia that covers the areas of professional practice education and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at home this book provides a synthesised critical and readable understanding of the complexities and risks involved.

Making Home in Diasporic Communities Transnational belonging amongst Filipina migrants

Making Home in Diasporic Communities Transnational belonging amongst Filipina migrants

Making Home in Diasporic Communities demonstrates the global scope of the Filipino diaspora engaging wider scholarship on globalisation and the ways in which the dynamics of nation-state institutions labour migration and social relationships intersect for transnational communities. Based on original ethnographic work conducted in Ireland and the Philippines the book examines how Filipina diasporans socially and symbolically create a sense of ‘home’. On one hand Filipinas can be seen as mobile as they have crossed geographical borders and are physically located in the destination country. Yet on the other hand they are constrained by immigration policies linguistic and cultural barriers and other social and cultural institutions. Through modalities of language rituals and religion and food the author examines the ways in which Filipinas orient their perceptions expectations practices and social spaces to ‘the homeland’ thus providing insight into larger questions of inclusion and exclusion for diasporic communities. By focusing on a range of Filipina experiences including that of nurses international students religious workers and personal assistants Making Home in Diasporic Communities explores the intersectionality of gender race class and belonging. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology as well as those with interests in gender identity migration ethnic studies and the construction of home. | Making Home in Diasporic Communities Transnational belonging amongst Filipina migrants

Home Beyond the House Transformation of Life Place and Tradition in Rural China

Home Beyond the House Transformation of Life Place and Tradition in Rural China

Based on extended fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2019 this book aims to answer a simple question: What is the meaning of home for people living in vernacular settlements in rural China? This question is particularly potent since rural China has experienced rapid and fundamental changes in the twenty-first century under the influences of national policies such as Building a New Socialist Countryside enacted in 2006 and Rural Revitalization announced in 2018. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork building surveys archival research and over 600 photographs taken by residents along with their life stories this book uncovers the meanings of home from rural residents’ perspectives who belong to a social group that is underrepresented in scholarship and underserved in modern China. In other words this study empowers rural residents by giving them voice. This book links the concepts of place home and tradition into an overarching argument: The meaning of home rests on the ideas of tradition including identity consanguinity collectivity social relations land ownership and rural lifestyle.

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation is a nuanced exploration of the embodied and affective practices of Moroccans from Europe visiting Morocco for summer vacation. Rather than characterizing them as uncomfortably split between homelands this book focuses on how their touristic leisure practices create their own space of diasporic belonging. An expert on Moroccan diaspora communities and mobile lifestyles the book draws on multi-sited and mobile ethnographic research to take the reader along on the journey ‘home’ and experience the daily lives of diasporic visitors. Their practices activities and encounters on vacation offer insights into larger issues of class leisure consumption and transnational belonging in South-to-North migration contexts. Concretely the book shows how these holiday encounters simultaneously generate integration into Morocco for migrant descendants who can feel at ‘home’ in this homeland and differentiation from others in how they embody ‘Moroccaness’ as social and material actors. This book shows how seemingly frivolous practices of leisure have material consequences for individuals who belong across homelands. Positioned at the intersection of migration studies leisure and tourism mobilities and ethnomethodology and practice theory this book is a worthwhile read for scholars and students—indeed anyone questioning or experiencing problems of belonging in transnational and diasporic contexts. | Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care

Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care

In Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations: Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care Nawal Qarooni invites us to step beyond school-centric one-off events and practices to create more authentic engaging collaborations with caregivers. Instead of asking what families can do to support schools Qarooni asks how schools can identify and celebrate what families already inherently bring to their children’s literacy learning. Establishing this work in holistic teaching—a pedagogical mindset that affirms the importance of loving the whole child through compassionate collective care—Qarooni explores five critical literacy tenets by highlighting opportunities to listen for honor connect to and elevate family strengths while inviting them even further into our shared work and encouraging reflection around: Recognizing the journey of process Celebrating the role collaboration plays within the collective Using observational literacy to read the world Advocating for the power of talk to grow ideas and connect with others Giving children choice to make self-directed decisions With moments of memoir woven in alongside diverse family examples and classroom stories connected to realistic instructional practices Qarooni shows how all families contribute meaningfully to their children’s literacy lives. Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school while building positive reciprocal relationships across both settings. With an afterword by En Comunidad authors Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations is rooted in the simple truth that we cannot separate knowing our students from knowing their home communities and the people that they love. This book offers a toolkit for connecting with families and elevating the intrinsic strengths that reside in every child’s home. | Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care
