This professional development session targets scholars who wish to bridge the gap between theoretical and applied sociology. Drawing on the rich and diverse experiences of our presenters, all scholars of migration and diversity, session participants will be invited to consider the application of sociology to various sectors and across multiple scales.
Dr Catriona Stevens’ current research concerns older adult abuse, particularly abuse that occurs within families and similar close relationships of trust. This field predominantly features health and medical research or legal and criminological approaches and, as such, tends to focus on interventions outcomes and is often framed through Anglo- or West-centric paradigms. Catriona’s recent research brings findings on the abuse of ethnically diverse older adults into dialogue with theories from migration studies to imagine new approaches to supporting mobile families through change and ageing.
