Professor Graham Rowles
This lecture explores the way in which an older person’s experience of their environment evolves in old age and the importance that this has for their well-being. Professor Rowles looks at themes such as body awareness and the rhythm and routine of daily activities as well as the meaning of home in the context of the life-course. What issues arise from the severance from place when this meaning is undermined by the need for relocation as care needs increase.
