My multi- and inter-disciplinary qualitative research aims to understand behaviours, expectations and experiences related to demographic phenomena and their consequences in low- and middle-income settings. Concern for equity and care, especially for underserved populations, underpins all my research.
My current long term care (LTC) work looks at the costs and consequences of unpaid dementia care for carers in Mexico and India (part of the STRiDE project) and the future of care for vulnerable older adults in Malawi and South Africa.
