*ABOUT THE TALK:*
"Visual Literacy and Alzheimer’s Caregiving". This webinar will explore
visual literacy skills and materials as a resource for caregivers of people
living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Illustrations and
commentary will focus on the significance of such skills and materials in
two key contexts: (1) interactions between people who live with
Alzheimer’s, their family members and immediate care-givers, and (2)
interactions between the lay public, Alzheimer’s care coordinators and
policy makers. I will also explore with webinar participants how greater
use of visual literacy and materials in these two contexts can prompt us to
reassess ideas about informed consent, assisted communication,
interpersonal recognition and trust—and about the challenges of using
images and text to respectfully depict the humanity of other vulnerable
populations.
*ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES “Images, Ageing and Care”:*
This webinar series “Images, Ageing and Care” is sponsored by the Images of
Care Collective,
Association for Anthropology,
Gerontology and the Life Course
(AAGE), EASA’s Age and Generations Network (AgeNet)
and the
Network for Visual
Anthropology of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (VANEASA)
. The series is free and open
to all. It gathers anthropologists and image-makers interested in exploring
the ontological and epistemological connections between images, aging and
care, treating the relationship and these phenomena as requiring and
inviting interrogation. Check up our current line-up
