SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Queer Minds Matter: Dementia\, Identity\, and the Politics of Being Seen
DESCRIPTION:How well does dementia research reflect the experiences of LGBTQ+ communities. And what happens when people living with dementia are excluded from the conversations that shape research\, policy\, and care. \nThis 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. \nIn this session\, Dáithí Clayton will chat with Dr Claudio Di Lorito\, Senior Research Fellow\, Primary Care and Population Health\, University College London & NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) Advisor and EDI Lead\, King’s College Hub. Together they will explore the current state of queer dementia research\, with a particular focus on the experiences of trans and nonbinary people living with dementia. Drawing on both research and lived experience\, they will reflect on how identity\, visibility\, and inclusion shape the realities of dementia care and support. \nThe session will examine progress made within the field\, highlight ongoing gaps in knowledge and practice\, and consider how researchers\, practitioners\, and policy makers can better address the needs of LGBTQ+ communities affected by dementia. \nDáithí is a dementia researcher\, advocate\, and educator based in Belgium. Their work focuses on queer dementia research\, challenging inequities in care and representation while amplifying the voices and experiences of people who have often been overlooked within dementia research and practice. \nAttendees can expect a thought provoking and discussion led session with time for questions and conversation. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Strengthening Family Connections Through Reminiscence
DESCRIPTION:How can families maintain meaningful connections with loved ones living with dementia after they move into a care home. And how can reminiscence help make visits more engaging and rewarding for everyone involved. \nThis 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. \nIn this session\, Connor McDonald will present findings from his PhD\, a collaborative Action Research study exploring family-centred reminiscence during care home visits for people living with dementia. Working alongside family members\, the project co-developed a new approach to using reminiscence as a way of strengthening and preserving relationships. \nThe session will explore how collaboration with families shaped the intervention\, what was learned through the co-design process\, and how reminiscence can support meaningful interaction and connection within care home settings. \nConnor is an early career researcher at the University of the West of Scotland whose research focuses on dementia care\, family involvement\, and collaborative approaches to improving the experiences of people living with dementia and those closest to them. \nAttendees can expect a thought provoking and discussion-led session with time for questions and conversation. \n\nRegister
