Resilience and Ageing by Katarzyna Kosmala
Understanding how creative interventions can help develop social connectivity and resilience for older people is vital in developing a holistic cross-sector approach towards ageing well. Academics with a wide range of expertise critically reflect on how the built environment, community living, cultural participation, lifelong learning, and artist-led interventions encourage older people to thrive and overcome both challenging life events and the everyday changes associated with ageing. The book uses a range of approaches, including participatory research methods, to bring the voices of older people themselves to the foreground. It looks at how taking part in creative interventions develops different types of social relationships and fosters resilience.
“Resilience is an area of growing interest within critical gerontology and policy agendas and in this book, academics with a wide range of expertise critically reflect on ways in which cultural engagement can encourage older people to thrive” Simon Evans, University of Worcester
