Research Showcase – Culture & Dementia Care in Social Work Practice
May 20 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
How is culture understood within social work practice. And how does this shape the care and support offered to people living with dementia from marginalised communities.
This livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work, methods, and ideas.
In this session, Dr Kemba Hadaway-Morgan will present findings from her PhD research exploring how the concept of culture is perceived and applied within social work practice. Her work focuses on how these understandings influence care for racialised and marginalised older adults living with dementia.
Drawing on qualitative research, Kemba examines how assumptions, interpretations, and institutional perspectives of culture can shape decision making, interactions, and outcomes in dementia care. Her research highlights the importance of critically engaging with culture to support more equitable and responsive practice.
Kemba is a researcher at Cardiff University specialising in dementia, social work, and inequalities in care. Her work centres on amplifying under represented perspectives and improving practice for diverse communities.
Attendees can expect a reflective and research focused session with time for questions and discussion.
