SUMMARY:Imaginal Worldbuilding: Dementia and Family Caregiving in Pandemic Denmark”
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Ida Vandsøe Madsen (Copenhagen)\, who will present a talk entitled: \n“Imaginal Worldbuilding: Dementia and Family Caregiving in Pandemic Denmark” \nIda Vandsøe Madsen is a Teaching Assistant Professor at the Department of Anthropology\, University of Copenhagen. She holds a PhD in Anthropology from the same department\, awarded in October 2024. Her research is situated within medical and psychological anthropology\, with a particular interest in phenomenology. Her doctoral dissertation\, Imaginal Worldbuilding: Dementia and family caring in pandemic Denmark\, offers an intimate phenomenological analysis of the experiences of relatives to people with dementia in Denmark. The study is situated within broader societal changes\, including shifts in the national care infrastructure that increasingly place responsibility on civil society. Her fieldwork also included perspectives from people living with dementia. The lecture will provide an overview of the dissertation and explore topics such as exhaustion\, mental imagery\, care across distances\, and methodological advances in listening. \nAs always\, everyone is welcome—please feel free to share this invitation with interested colleagues and networks. If you’re interested\, just drop me a quick message and I’ll send you the password. \nTo get a joining link email edzwiza@uni-koeln.de \n\nWe’ve just updated our playlist with carefully selected talks from our network—covering a remarkable range of perspectives and topics: from music to literature\, from prevention to therapy\, from lived care experiences to questions of metaphysics.

SUMMARY:MND EnCouRage UK
DESCRIPTION:EnCouRage UK is open to both MND Association funded and non-funded early career researchers\, including PhD students and up to 5 years post-docs (career breaks will be considered) who have chosen MND as their area of investigation. \nThis is a fantastic opportunity for you to present your work\, talk with other early career researchers and senior researchers\, start to form networks to carry you through your career\, and meet people living with and affected by MND. \n\n\n‘I think it was the best sort of early career researcher event I’ve been to because it was a lot more about supporting our learning and helping us build as people and researchers.’ ECR\, EnCouRage 2023 \n\n\nWhat can you expect?*\n\nThe opportunity to showcase your work to an audience of your peers\, senior researchers and people living with and affected by MND.\nAn exciting and fast-paced programme of career-oriented talks and activities including: engaging with a lay audience; securing funding; dealing with setbacks; alternative career paths; real-world perspectives of MND; media training; current research; and more.\nAn exciting and interactive workshop revealing the secrets of storytelling and powerful public speaking. ‘This workshop will show you how to captivate your audience with your opening words\, to endings that echo and endure\, tricks to hold your audience’s attention\, how to tell spellbinding stories\, the smart use of slides and data\, and even the golden secret of success. It will explore all you need to know to interest\, impress and inspire when presenting your investigation in only two hours of a high intensity\, highly interactive\, and – maybe even – highly entertaining workshop.’ \nNetworking opportunities throughout both days\, giving you the chance to foster connections and relationships with both the research and MND communities.\nComplimentary accommodation at the Burleigh Court Hotel\, Loughborough on the 14\, 15\, 16 July (if required).\nWelcome reception on the evening of the 14 July (optional).\nInformal BBQ and drinks on the evening of the 15 July.\nThree-course dinner on the evening of the 16 July.\n\n*subject to change \nWhat do you need to do now?\nPlaces at the event are limited. \nAbstract submissions will open on 11 February 2025 and close on 13 March 2025. You can use the buttons below to view an interim agenda (subject to change) and submit your abstract. \n If you are chosen to present your work\, a £75 fee will be payable on completion of registration. \nIf you have any questions\, please email us at encourage@mndassociation.org \n\n\n\n\nView an interim agenda \nSubmit your abstract
