Through collaborative and interdisciplinary methodologies, this research investigates how digital technologies shape experiences of aging across home, community, and institutional contexts. Projects engage questions related to social isolation, digital inclusion, memory preservation, intergenerational connection, and the everyday practices through which individuals negotiate autonomy, care, and participation in contemporary life.
Individual and collective well-being includes the ways we're online (or not) – it is no longer only an extension of our identities but is co-constituted by our (digital) socio-political worlds and the sum of our engagements online. This work reflects how people experience connection, memory, and well-being within institutional, community, and online environments, with a focus on relational care, equity, and social inclusion. These projects investigate how digi-social spaces can both sustain and constrain care, identity, and participation across diverse aging experiences.
