Felicity Slocombe: ‘Managing identity in dementia interactionally’ – Overview of one part of my PhD project in which an interaction data set will be used to analyse how identity is managed and supported in interactions from various settings (memory clinic, dementia specialist care home and in people’s own homes) using the approach of conversation analysis (CA). An example from my data set will be discussed to illustrate how identity can be studied using CA. The goal of the project is to contribute to research which brings the views and experiences of people living with dementia into the research findings and to improve communication.
