| Research interests | In my doctoral dissertation, I explored how spousal relationships change as a spouse´s dementia progresses. I am continuing this research. I am also interested in how older adults with dementia can make their voices heard in our society, how they describe their sense of inclusion, and what factors enable or hinder it. |
