In this talk, Dr Jarmin Yeh, from the University of California, San Francisco, Institute for Health & Aging will trace her own entrée into the study of urban ageing, present a critical perspective on age-friendly cities and communities. Yeh will be making this talk in conjunction with the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group (MUARG) as a guest of the University of Manchester.
Yeh will look at discourses reflected in guidance documents for the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities, and discuss approaches that seek to “center the margin” to advance complementary or alternative epistemologies that can inform age-friendly cities and community praxis.
Examples from her own field work with low-moderate income older adults in San Francisco, California will be shared, as well as a discussion of the richness and limitations of scaling this work.
