How can we use Coproduction to close the gap between ageing and disability research?

Speaker(s):

Catherine Pemble, University of Stirling

Abstract:

This session builds on the initial question "I wonder how ageing and disability activists can learn from one another?" to think through both the fundamental aspects and practical logistics of a potential collaborative project. This kitchen table session is hosted by two researchers with extensive co-productive experience: Dr Catherine Pemble (ageing and dementia studies) and Dr Dianne Theakstone (housing studies, social work, and disability). This session will grapple with key questions around building a co-productive project examining the barriers between ageing, dementia, and disability, from fundamental questions around whether the project is advocating for the right approach, to pragmatic issues of coproduction.
