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.
