This edition of the MUARG Conversation Series, chaired by Patty Doran (University of Manchester), features two researchers sharing examples of ethical issues from everyday practice in age-friendly community-building and co-creation.
Barbara Groot-Sluijsmans (VU Amsterdam) will provide practical understanding of everyday ethical challenges faced while building age-friendly communities in the Netherlands, including handling mensplay and racism in a community garden initiative around a flat with a multicultural group of older inhabitants, balancing acts in art engagement projects between artistic quality to raise dementia-related stigma awareness and inclusion and support, and balancing the need of a theatre-dance program’s funder to ‘show and tell’ with the anonymity of women with a migration background.
Vanessa Burholt (University of Auckland) will discuss the difficulties New Zealand researchers face actioning co-creation principles without an adequate regulatory framework and differentiating between participants and co-creators, including while co-creating a soundscape study with people living with dementia, decolonising research practices with M?ori living with mate wareware, and facing challenges promoting continence or managing incontinence, and will describe the work undertaken by the Centre for Co-Created Ageing Research (CCREATE-AGE) to create co-creation principles and practices aligning with Kaupapa M?ori methods.
Lunch, tea, and coffee will be provided.
