October 9 @ 9:30 am - 5:45 pm

Home & Belonging in Place
Background and purpose: Research demonstrates the importance of a sense of home and belonging for later life identity and wellbeing in place. However, with more diverse residential life-course trajectories, the multifaceted impact of globalisation, environmental change and digitalisation, and the continued institutional segregation of some groups, links with place can be more tenuous. The risk of older people becoming disembedded from localities, or failing to embed at all, may as such be that much greater. Drawing on contributions from international scholars and practice experts, this lecture and training event will explore challenges and opportunities in fostering home and belonging amongst diverse older populations, in diverse contexts.
