Jayme Tauzer

Jayme Tauzer is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna’s Department of Nursing Sciences, she is an interdisciplinary researcher on issues of long-term care and old age. Previously, as a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Brighton, she led an independent research project within the INNOVATE DIGNITY network, collaborating with early-stage researchers across Europe to explore the existential aspects of old age care. Jayme holds a PhD in Health Sciences from Birmingham City University, an MA in Sociology & Social Anthropology from Central European University, and dual BA degrees in Psychology and Community Studies from UC Santa Cruz. Her research combines ethnographic methods with a focus on the lived experiences of older adults, particularly concerning understanding care, gender, social ex/inclusion, and what it means for care recipients to live well in long-term care.
